Little Moreton Hall
Little Moreton Hall in Cheshire is arguably the most photographed timber-framed building in England — a gloriously wonky, moated manor house that looks as though it grew organically from the ground over successive generations. Built between the 15th and 17th centuries by the Moreton family, its jettied upper floors and leaning walls are a testament to medieval craftsmanship rather than a sign of neglect. Crossing the causeway to explore its galleries and great hall feels like entering a fairytale.
- England's finest moated timber-framed manor
- Wonderfully crooked medieval architecture
- Atmospheric great hall and long gallery
Best for medieval history lovers and anyone who believes architecture should have personality.
