Moseley Old Hall

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

An historic Elizabethan timber-framed house that provided a hiding place for Charles II during his escape follwing the Battle of Worcesterin 1651. When Charles was fleeing from Parliamentary troops after the Battle, he sought refuge at Moseley Hall. Visitors can see the bed in which the fugitive prince slept and see an exhibit covering his eventful escape to freedom overseas.

The three-storey house was built in 1600, but was later remodelled with brick cladding. It stands withn an attractive garden whichhas been renovated to appear as it was in the mid 17th century, including a knot-garden and nut walk.

The interiors are richly panelled, but the panelling conceals several hiding places meant to conceal priests in that time of religious turmoil. Charles spet a cramped night within one of these priest's holes.
