Bunbury - Little Moreton Hall

An excursion can be made to Little Moreton Hall (22mi/35km to the south of Manchester), one of the most impressive half-timbered mansions in England, begun around 1480 by Ralph Moreton, with the east wing being added in 1559 by a descendant, the south wing in 1563. Although almost none of the original interior fittings and furnishings have been preserved, the large multi-storyed building, with its superb half-timbered construction and pretty inner courtyard, moat and garden, offers an excellent glimpse of what rural life must have been like in 16th C Cheshire.
