An English Tudor Hall 400 years old

In this video we take a look inside a traditional English Tudor Timber framed Mansion/Hall. Over 400 years old this Medieval house is Tongue Hall in Middleton Manchester. Its a time capsule from about 15 years ago since the last owner moved out. Elizabeth the 1st was on the English throne when this house was built. So its a good insight into English history. The house has been vandalised in 2007. The house has been extensively altered during the 1700's and 1800's This Tudor, Elizabethan house is fascinating and I also try to give a potted history on the ownership.This is an urbex urban explore in the house.

The clowns who burned the place need 400 year old justice. Would be the last time they do it!!

[@shezlatic1636]

Such a shame to see a historic building in a state like this. The little scruffs who burned it down need their fingers breaking one by one 😡😡

Found this amazing..and terribly sad at the same time. England’s history ,heritage and tradition doesn’t seem to matter much anymore....if only more Brits knew how precious and rare their country and its historic buildings really are, priceless, irreplaceable . Nothing like this in the U.S.

Amazing that it is only grade2 listed,so down the list of places to be cared for .It's actually only part of the original house. Captain Woolstoncroft ,the decendent of the original occupants was himself a piece of British history,He occupied the house for most of his life, leaving to join the Royal Marines, where he served for 19 years as a lieutenant, leading his men onto Gold Beach during the D-Day landings in June 1944.

The local Authority or those involved with getting the scaffolding organised and security need to act fast before anything else happens to it and get the previous owners things out and store them before they are lost forever. The building needs to be preserved more than all the modern buildings presently being built. These buildings are valuable in so many ways.

How sad, brought tears to my eyes, how could they set fire to something so historical

Seeing the what I presume are hazel sticks which would of made up the original building, fascinates me. The people who put them there lived in the MEDIEVAL ERA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im a bit nerdy but it blows me away. Great Video, Hope its saved.

Wow... all things come to pass ! fantastic. A mate used to restore tudor buildings, I believe the infill with the reeds was horsehair and dung ! he also said the old oaks case harden in a fire and he has planed off the carbon and re instated many original beams along with new, lets hope like a phoenix it re emerges from the ruins, cheers man.

I did an archaeological survey in a similar medieval mansion where looters had tried to strip original features and sell them on. One morning as I was on my way to the site, I got a 'phonecall from a colleague who was laughing his rocks off so much I couldn't understand what he was calling about. When I arrived my friend ushered me to the main hall, and there in front of the fire was blood and a couple of teeth... from the look of it a looter entered the site and tried to use a crowbar to rip out the fireplace mantlepiece...he must have been enthusiastic because the mantlepiece was a prop leftover from a TV show and when he put pressure on the crowbar, the mantle broke and he hit himself in the face with his crowbar. My colleague got in contact with the local bobbies (who he was friends with) and they picked the guy up that afternoon as he sat in casualty waiting to have his lip and gum stitched back together. Nice.

If I lived in England, I'd buy that home in 2 seconds! I grew up in construction, and have a passion for archaeology. I'd restore it to it's original glory & decorate the same. Breaks my heart to see it so neglected. Stunning, beautiful, and breath taking......

[@catherinehutchinson6099]

I had an overwhelming sadness come over me whilst watching this beautiful historical building. I just can’t comprehend why anyone would want to set fire to it. Thanks for the upload

[@jacquiedwards160]

I live in a country where the oldest building are less than 250 years old..

[@rogerscottcathey]

So good you did that. I'm so glad you did. I hope to goodness there shall be a successful restoration and protection of that treasure.

[@janedwards5292]

The Tudor period is my favourite and it's so sad to see this beautiful house in such a state. I do hope someone saves it before it's too late. Thank you so much for showing it to us.

[@kaydonahue]

Someone torched my great grandmother huge Victorian. Soul scorching! Healed by believing it went to heaven with my ancestors.

[@mnshp7548]

i hate how people can do this, just burn down such a beautiful building, as a 17 yr old it makes us look super bad, while some people like me find this amazing and would love to preserve the building and photograph it never mind destroy it, sad they did that and hope they get punished

[@shay8259]

The sadness of this hit me. Not only if the awful fire and damage, but of what this now most likely past gentleman had left behind of his once pride and joy. After seeing that photo of him you can just imagine him sitting in that chair. Now all that remains is the shell of what once was an incredibly modern building. Absolutely incredible

[@Lilstinker63]

I hope that those that set the fire were caught and in jail.
