What is it –  House 

When is it from – Tudor

Little Moreton Hall, though medieval in design, is a creation of the Tudor period and dates from around 1504 when Henry VII, the first Tudor king, ruled England.  It is named for the Moreton family, who used to live there, and is one of the most exuberant-looking Tudor timber-framed houses in Britain. It is a puzzle of shapes – and a genuine puzzle that it is still standing. The weight of the stone-tiled roof and the amazing long gallery has pushed the place out of alignment – it looks almost like the original crooked house. The interior is fairly bare, but fascinating. It includes interesting carvings, plasterwork – and Tudor wall painting, revealed when Georgian panels were stripped away.

Bear in mind that the property is relatively small and can get crowded.
