About this Event
Little Moreton Hall
Heritage Open Day: Discover Little Moreton Hall on our Heritage Open Day and explore the 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.
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.
