National Trust - Little Moreton Hall
About This Museum
You'd never guess this black-and-white, wobbly-looking manor has been defying gravity for over 500 years. Stepping through the gatehouse into the cobbled courtyard feels like walking onto a movie set, with its crooked walls and leaded windows all framed by a tranquil moat. Inside, the uneven floors and creaking wood are part of the charm, leading you through rooms that feel frozen in time. It’s a wonderfully immersive experience that connects you directly to the Tudor families who once called this place home.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the breathtaking Long Gallery with its ornate, barrel-shaped ceiling and original 16th-century wall paintings. The Great Hall is another stunner, complete with a vast hearth and minstrels' gallery, giving you a real sense of Tudor feasts and daily life.
