Here is a show notes page accompanying this episode, recorded at Little Moreton Hall in Cheshire. A highlight on any Tudor time traveller’s itinerary, Little Moreton Hall is a picture-postcard building - a charming, delightfully crooked, timber-framed black-and-white building encircled by a narrow moat. Construction of the present hall began in 1505 by William Moreton, during the closing years of Henry VII’s reign. Completed towards the close of Elizabeth I’s reign, the house embodies the transition from the medieval to the Renaissance - a physical record of changing fashions, materials and social aspirations.
