Hall Green Road, West
Bromwich
The Manor House, also known as the "Old
Hall" is a priceless example of a medieval timber framed hall.
Few examples of this early type of architecture have survived
and this is possibly the most complete example in existance. It
conforms to a copy book layout and consists of a Great hall,
North Solar Wing, South Wing, Chapel, Kitchen Block and
Gatehouse and is surrounded on all sides by a moat. |

Although more humble than

paintings and engravings of him. It is not open to the public in
the normal sense |
