Named after local landowner Sir Ernest Royden, the park is jointly owned by the National Trust and Wirral Borough Council. Within the grounds is a large Mock Tudor house known as Hill Bark, which was re-erected between 1929 and 1931[7] by Sir Ernest Royden. Originally known as Bidston Court, it was initially sited near Bidston Hill in 1891, but moved brick by brick to its present position in Frankby to replace an earlier dwelling. The house contains a 16th-century fireplace, once part of a house belonging to Sir Walter Raleigh.[8] Frankby's local public house is known as the Farmer's Arms. Sir Thomas Royden was an English shipowner and Conservative Party politician. He was created a baronet in 1905 and lived at Frankby Hall. His daughter, the writer, preacher, suffragette and former local inhabitant Dr Maud Royden (1876–1956) is buried in the local Church of St John the Divine.
