Little Moreton Hall

Saturday was quite fine, so we drove just a few miles from our Motel to wonderful Little Moreton Hall - over 500 hundred years old - sister Pat & I were taken there as children and I thought I'd like to see it again.
Across The Moat and into the courtyard - it's so much bigger than it looks from a distance
A close-up of the Long Gallery, from the outside
A huge amount of money has been spent on supporting the Long Gallery as it had become very unstable and dangerous - it still has huge humps and curves, but these are now supported by unseen steel beams
The view through one of the ancient windows in The Long Gallery down into The Courtyard
I noticed these signatures placed by the craftsmen who have replaced glass over the years
