Part of Heritage Open Days 2026
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.
The National Trust have cared for Little Moreton Hall since 1938 when it was handed over by Reverend Charles Thomas Abraham. Today, the team look after the Tudor Hall so that visitors can continue to have the opportunity to be inspired and feel connected to the past, whilst learning all about Tudor life and the people that lived at the Hall. As a Conservation Charity, this work is able to continue because of the generosity of the visitors; helping the team to keep the building open, safe and beautiful for many years to come - thank you
