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.
A simpler way of life
Join daily guided tours to discover the story of Little Moreton Hall and the many people who lived here, from Tudor farmers to Victorian tenants. Meet people in costume and get hands on with Tudor traditions such as butter making and herbal remedies.
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.
Shop
Pick up a souvenir from your visit or a gift for someone special; from edible treats and locally brewed ale, to books for garden lovers and nature explorers.
