A Tudor fairytale - Little Moreton Hall was built by William Moreton in stages through the 1500s. The moated, half-timbered house has been called a "feast of medieval carpentry", with a long gallery, 30,000 original leaded panes of glass and 200 tons of stone roofing tiles.
"Richard Dale, Carpenter, made these windows by the grace of God" (1559)
"God is all in all things: These windows were made by William Moreton in the year of our Lord MDLIX (1559)"
Looking through the original 16th century windows - Tudor glaziers intentionally used a variety of different coloured shades of glass, creating quite a magical effect.
