Little Moreton Hall

A dive into Cheshire to visit Little Moreton Hall which is a moated half-timbered manor house four miles southwest of Congleton in Cheshire.

Built to make a big impression, Little Moreton Hall was constructed during the Tudor period, with the earliest part of the house begun in around 1504-1508 and the latest addition being completed in 1610. The Moreton family were wealthy landowners in the area and built the house as a symbol of their prosperity.

The house remained in the possession of the Moreton family for almost 450 years, until ownership was transferred to the National Trust in 1938.

Little Moreton Hall and its sandstone bridge across the moat are designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building and the ground on which Little Moreton Hall stands is protected as a Scheduled Monument.
