Little Moreton Hall: The Crooked Wonder of Cheshire

Here is a show notes page accompanying this episode, recorded at Little Moreton Hall in Cheshire. A highlight on any Tudor time traveller’s itinerary, Little Moreton Hall is a picture-postcard building - a charming, delightfully crooked, timber-framed black-and-white building encircled by a narrow moat. Construction of the present hall began in 1505 by William Moreton, during the closing years of Henry VII’s reign. Completed towards the close of Elizabeth I’s reign, the house embodies the transition from the medieval to the Renaissance - a physical record of changing fashions, materials and social aspirations.   If you want to keep up to date with all the Tudor Travel Guide's adventures, as well as top tips for planning your own Tudor road trip, don't forget to subscribe to the blog via www.thetudortravelguide.com.   You can also find The Tudor Travel Guide on  Instagram, YouTube, Twitter.    Have you entered the Simply Tudor Tours giveaway?
