Congleton, Cheshire, England
The National Trust calls Little Moreton Hall the most iconic black and white house in Cheshire. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a more atmospheric historic building. Little Moreton seems to embody the perfect ideal of a medieval or Elizabethan house; full of odd angles, darkened beams twisting this way and that with age. The Hall was begun around 1450 by the Moreton family and was extended over the following century to create a warren of rooms, each leading to the next.
