Little Moreton Hall is a moated, timber framed Tudor Manor House. It’s been beautifully restored and is maintained by the National Trust. There’s a tangible sense of history as you walk round.




The Moretons began as a powerful family who aquired large areas of land following the dissolution of the monasteries. The first phase of Little Moreton Hall began in 1504 and was completed in stages over the following 100 years.


The family’s fortunes declined rapidly during the Civil War as they supported the Royalist cause in a Parliamentarian stronghold. The Hall was seized by the government and the daughters of the family were forced to pay rent. In later years the hall was rented to more relatives and tenant farmers.

Wow, this must be one of the most complete all tudor properties in Britain!
