Brimstage ({{IPAc-en|local|ˈ|b|r|ɪ|m|s|t|ɪ|dʒ}}) is a village located in the centremost part[2] of the Wirral Peninsula, England, east of Heswall and west of Bebington. The village is located in the Clatterbridge Ward of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral and in the parliamentary constituency of Wirral South.

At the time of the 2001 Census, Brimstage had a population of 100.[3]

History

Although the exact date of construction is unknown, Brimstage Hall is believed to have been built between the 12th century and 14th century, making it one of the oldest buildings on Merseyside.[2][4]

Originally the site was enclosed by a moat and high embankment. The building's first known occupants were Sir Hugh Hulse and his wife, who were granted the right to construct a chapel in 1398.

In 1288, Sir Roger de Domville is said to have 'listened for the word Brunstath' (the old name for Brimstage, which he held as lord) during proceedings at Chester. The Domville family left the hall when the Hulse family took residence circa 1378.

Brimstage was formerly a township in Bromborough Parish of the Wirral Hundred. The population was 127 in 1801, 126 in 1851, 181 in 1901 and 135 in 1951.[5]

On 1 April 1974, local government reorganisation in England and Wales resulted in most of Wirral, including Brimstage, transfer from the county of Cheshire to Merseyside as part of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral.

There were two pubs in Brimstage, the Red Cat and the Pig and Whistle. The Red Cat was knocked down and never rebuilt while the Pig and Whistle is thought to have been the now named Rose Cottage adjacent to the Pig and Whistle field.

Community

Brimstage is a rural community centred on a small village green, consisting of Brimstage Hall, numerous farms and a small number of dwellings. Brimstage Hall and the surrounding Courtyard hosts a vibrant retail community which includes these'>retailers.

In 2006 the former dairy at Home farm was refurbished to become the home of Brimstage'>Brewery - Wirral's first commercial brewery since the closure of Birkenhead Brewery in the 1960s.[7]

Brimstage, along with the neighbouring villages of Raby and Thornton Hough, are within an Area of Special Landscape Value, a protective designation to preserve the character and appearance of the area. This is part of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral.[8]
