Thingwall Hall was a minor stately home, located in the Knotty Ash district of Liverpool, United Kingdom. It was originally built in 1848 and it had been used, up to the late 1990's, as a school for special needs children. The school was owned by the Knotty Ash Special School Trust; the Liverpool City Council served as its trustees.
Comedian Ken Dodd had been campaigning to turn it into a Museum of Comedy. On 6 November 2003 it was destroyed by a fire. There has been speculation linking a series of fires to the interests competing to develop either the land or the house.
