Little Moreton Hall, Cheshire |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Little Moreton Hall, in Cheshire, is an extensive half-timbered Elizabethan mansion, built by the wealthy Moreton family in the 15th and 16th centuries. The house was designed primarily as a home rather than a fortress, and its surrounding moat was dug more for aesthetic than for defensive purposes.This is a view of the south front of the house, with a bridge over the moat. | ||||||
