It's a few years since we went to Little Moreton Hall but still remember the wonky floors. What a fascinating place. Enjoyed your video so much and it has made us want to visit there again soon. Thank you for sharing this. Was good to see the gardens too. You picked a good day with the sunshine. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

This was my first visit and I absolutely loved it. Such a charming place. You may have guessed from some of my other videos that I have a fascination with folklore and the like. So all the ritual marks and superstitious things were double exciting for me.

Imagine the oak trees that the massive vertical beams came from. Nothing modern could match the craftsmanship in this building. I can see where the Esthetic Movement and William Morris got their inspiration.

I loved that you can still see the original carpenters marks in the beams. Where they measured and marked them up in the lumber yard for easy fixing in site. Almost like a giant intricate flat pack!

If you ever do make it over there are several amazing places around the area. It's quite often overlooked, but it's not that far from Manchester.

It's a great little place which often gets overlooked by bigger old houses and halls nearby. If you are going to look at a few of the old houses around the area you can get a good tourist pass from the National Trust which gets you some great savings.

Thank you for this video as I’ll never be able to visit this amazing house myself. I’ve never seen such a richly decorated house before, the successive owners must have been seriously wealthy!

@OutWithABrew 6 ай бұрын

It's actually pretty interesting. Though the Moreton family were pretty wealthy they declined quite quickly. Usually this would be a bad thing but it meant that Little Moreton Hall stayed in mostly it's original condition which we can enjoy today. Other more wealthy landowners always updated and renovated houses to more modern styles. So it's good to have a Tudor house that aside from essential repairs is pretty much in it's original condition.

@aprilmae274 5 ай бұрын

They had to pay taxes based on how much space the ground floor covered at one point, so architecture evolved. Bigger on the top than the bottoms.

@OutWithABrew 5 ай бұрын

I like the fact that although originaly wealthy, the owners fell on some hard times. While bad for them, it did mean the house didn't get renovated with each new trend. So the building is still quite original.

The cobble courtyard looks like Harry Potter world at Universal in Orlando.

I've never been to Orlando but I can imagine it. The building does have that wonky Harry Potter esque look. Have you been to "The Shambles" in York? The street that Diagon alley was based on.

@thebluemoon3818 2 ай бұрын

Very nice. I'm interested why the lower rooms are so well done, considering ground floor traditionally for servants storage and kitchens.

@OutWithABrew 2 ай бұрын

I believe some of the old kitchen and storage area is now the tea room which I didn't go in. It's also a bit of an oddity as the owners were quite wealthy but not massively. So where big halls like Shugborough or Keddleston got renovated and grew bigger and bigger over the years. Little Moreton just stayed the same. Which is great because it really makes it stand out.

Beautiful building. Shame filming didn't allow for chance to pause and read smaller of the information sheets in rooms. Too far away. Would have made it more interesting.

@OutWithABrew 5 ай бұрын

I was thinking of this recently. I use a chest camera which is good and unobtrusive for a general walk around but not very good for the signs and the like. I think I may get a good picture of such things which I can then put up on the screen and people can pause to read if they like. Thanks for the feedback though. Very much appreciated.

I often enjoy museum visits when there's a school group going through. It's interesting to see through a child's eyes. They can ask some really interesting questions. My favorite so far has been the Rodin museum in Paris with a small group of 6-7 year olds. They were well mannered and engaged. Their teacher had them bring little sketch pads and pencils and we all learned about light and shadow. Very cool. I loved hearing the little one on the beginning of this video asking if it was Saturday or Sunday only to learn it was Tuesday. Yeah, it was crowded, but that means the place is supported so has a better chance of being maintained.

@OutWithABrew 5 ай бұрын

I always like seeing people at these places as it means they are getting the support. But I must admit to sometimes wanting to be selfish so I can enjoy the place to myself. Have you have visited Sudbury Hall in Derbyshire? It's designed specifically for children and they love it there.
