Moseley Old Hall is an Elizabethan house, which becomes more evident when you see the wealth of exposed timbers inside the building. The outside of Moseley Old Hall received a 'facelift' in the 19th Century, when a skin of brickwork was wrapped around the house.
The Hall has associations with Charles II who hid here after the Battle of Worcester. One of the bedrooms has a secret panel to a Priest's hole.
Moseley Old Hall has quite a homely atmosphere, which probably contributed to its second place in the 1998 NPI National Heritage Awards.
