Hardman, originally from Rochdale, was born in 1694 and came from an old Lancashire family. His father, Richard was the eldest son of James Hardman who had fought for the Royalists in the English Civil War. In 1736, Hardman purchased the manor of Allerton Hall and rebuilt it in grand, Palladian style. Hardman later organised a survey on behalf of the Liverpool merchants of the possibility of a canal to join the rivers Trent and Mersey. (en)
