I lived and grew up opposite the hall in Moreton cottages and spent a lot of my childhood visiting the house and the grounds. If the Moreton family fortunes had been different, then the hall may well have been demolished and rebuilt in a more modern and up to date style as were many other English country houses. I suppose being poor had the advantage of preserving this rambling but beautiful building. Oh and thank you Ken for popping over to the other side of the pond!

Fascinating, and fortunate that it is still here today. Thank you for the tour.

D
Thanks for another great tour. Thank the stars for the National Trust. Many fascinating and historic homes were torn down before the Trust was created.

A few miles down the road from me.
The inside of the hall is very beautiful as are the grounds surrounding ❤

ABSOLUTLY EXQUISIT WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE

[carcar]

Some houses are just TOO unique to demolish, thank goodness!😊

[elephantintheroom]

Oh my God! THIS is now my favourite! I don't know how you manage to outdo yourself! 🤩

And, due to those lovely words, "The National Trust", this unique home still stands, and is open to visitors. If you want a definition for the word "wonky", this is it. While not as beautiful as some other styles (though that is a matter of personal choice), this building is a fascinating treasure in the way it has preserved for us such a complete view of the way people lived during this time. And yes, that would have been a fortune in glass.

I visited two years ago. It really was everything I imagined it to be...it's quite spectacular and unique!

How fascinating! Thanks for sharing. cheers

[portaltwo]

What a wonderful house, amazingly preserved despite so much passage of time!
Oh, just by the way, Elizabethan is pronounced ElizaBEEthan.

[kendranewton]

OMG, those windows remind me of patchwork quilts I make. It is quirky but beautiful!

3:45 I like the exposed beams. I see them sometimes, here in Massachusetts ❤

[David-tmsl]

Truly a fascinating building! I did not see a straight line anywhere 😮

Fascinating contrast between a centuries old manor haphazardly assembled and the Gilded Age mansions that are massive and carefully designed, but sometimes only stand for a couple of decades.

[monicacall]

Considering how expensive glass was back then the Mortens must’ve been very, very wealthy.

[brandonpiazza]

My first question to myself when I see this house is, “Is it Too much?”. That’s how I know I love it!!

[gonefishing]

What a treasure, thank you so much. I’m glad it’s in safe hands to preserve it for future generations. It can teach so much about history can it not? Once again, thank you 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

Been there. Very interesting and beautiful in its way. Haunted as hell!
