The last Standish to live in the hall was Charles Strickland Standish who let it in 1824 or 1825 to Thomas Darwell, Mayor of Wigan. In 1920 the owner, Mr James Birkett Almond (son of the brewer of the same name), broke up the estate and sold it. In 1923 the chapel and the Tudor style wing were pulled down and parts sent to be rebuilt in America as the result of a mistaken belief that the hall had been the birthplace of Miles Standish of Dusbury, one of the Pilgrim Fathers.
