Little Moreton Hall Little Moreton
Hall is arguably the finest half-timbered manor in England - certainly it is one
of the most heavily photographed! The house is set around three sides of a cobbled
courtyard and ringed around by a moat. The half-timbering is fanciful, delightfully
ornate. The upper stories of the house project out over the base, and the small
windows boast an enjoyable variety of Tudor glass.  Little
Moreton was built between 1450 and 1580 by the Moreton family, but little remains
to preserve their memory. There are no corridors within the house; each room leads
directly into the next, and the floors are connected by compact spiral staircases.
The
lack of interior furnishings allow visitors to see the wonderful plasterwork and
wall paintings, including those in the long gallery. A knot garden stands outside
the house. Details
