Little Moreton Hall

Little Moreton Hall

Free Entry For National Trust Members!

Built to impress by craftsmen’s hands more than 500 years ago, the hall, with its crooked walls and uneven floors, may seem fragile but it’s a remarkable survivor. Discover its story, and that of the people who lived here, the ritual protection marks scattered throughout the house, and why Little Moreton Hall may be the wonkiest house you’ll ever see!

 

About Little Moreton Hall

A topsy-turvy Tudor house

It’s not your eyes playing tricks on you. Seeing the tumbling architecture of Little Moreton Hall for the first time, engineers in 1990 could not believe their eyes either. This timber-framed building, curled around with a scenic moat, has defied logic for over 500 years. Step back in time inside this higgledy-piggledy house and discover what everyday Tudor life tells us about the way we live today.

Find out more

Have a chat with our costumed Living History team on the ground floor, to find out more about how people lived at the Hall. Upstairs, the knowledgable room guides can answer any questions that you have and remember to ask them about the protective marks carved or burnt into the wooden structure of the building to ward off evil.

Knot just a garden

You’ll find herbs and vegetables that the Tudors would have used for their cooking and medicines surrounding the Elizabethan style knot garden. Take a stroll around the moat to spot creatures great and small who call Little Moreton Hall their home.

Tea Rooms

Enjoy a sandwich and homemade slice of cake inside the quaint Little Tea Room or soak up the sunshine on the lawn with afternoon tea. You’ll find a different experience in Mrs Dale’s Tea Room with service right to your table, warming dishes and a log-burning stove when it’s nippy. 


Who were the Moretons?

Many of the Moretons have disappeared into history, leaving very little behind apart from the iconic building they created and a few pieces of furniture.

However, as more evidence comes to light, we’re finding that this family has a fascinating story to tell.

It’s clear they were wealthy and keen to assert themselves locally. They were a powerful family who bought up significant amounts of land following the Black Death.

The resulting wealth allowed them to build the ostentatious Little Moreton Hall. Building started in 1504 under the first William Moreton, and the house was built in stages, completed around 100 years later.
