Beautiful little hall which is furnished and has displays of its history as well as embroidery and clothes of the era. Volunteers also dress in period costume and you can enjoy a refreshment in the little cafe area, though sadly at today's prices. It's grounds are pretty and attached to a country Park which itself is free entry and allows you to enjoy it's vast walks and lakes at leisure. The hall is a little gem and whilst very much smaller than its closest rival, Little Moreton Hall, it's well worth a visit. I'd recommend to make a full day of all things Tudor to do this place in the morning, enjoy a walk if you wish, then up to Mow Cop Castle as a call-in en route to Little Moreton Hall just 15-20 away. Spend the afternoon there and enjoy lunch at their cafe which is very nice and they too have gardens to enjoy, though much bigger. I'd say if you are travelling it's far better to make a day of it by doing both halls and a trip up to Mow Cop which overlooks the both from very different angles.

Stunningly beautiful gem of a building tucked away next to a nature reserve in the most unlikely of places! Each of the downstairs rooms were traditionally and tastefully naturally decorated for Christmas which perfectly added to the atmosphere. Wonderful displays of authentic furniture of the period with plenty of interesting and clear information plaques. Very polite, friendly and helpful staff with a quaint little tea room and shop. Free parking for the museum and adjacent nature reserve just a very short walk away with disabled access to the front of the property. The very small admission price was well worth it (I can't believe I had the entire house to myself when I visited!) and I'll definitely be returning with friends and family.

On a damp, cold day we stopped at Ford Green Hall, which has always intrigued me as we've driven past. What a wonderfully well preserved Tudor home with a fascinating history - from the simple day-to-day life of centuries past, to the heartbreak of serious flooding in the 1980s! A group of ladies knitting in one room gave us the feeling that domestic life has never paused here, and the house feels like a happy, welcoming home - and a warm one at that! Definitely a must for anyone who is interested in history, and anyone who enjoys small museums and domestic history. The staff were lovely and we enjoyed a cuppa in the little cafe, too!

Beautiful timber-frame house built in 1624 for Ford family. Hugh Ford was a dairy farmer and Hall was his farm house. The family stayed here for 200 years. Later hall was divided into 4 cottages. Today you can see a renovated house with furniture inside showing you the life in the hall throughout the centuries. The history of the hall as well as the Ford family is displayed by the main entrance. At the back of the hall you can find a coffee shop as well as a little garden to relax. Entrance is £5 and it helps the charity organisation to renovate the hall further

Afternoon opening allowed us to see this extraordinary house and read its history. The weather was kind so we could walk the grounds and get a bit of history relating to the different plants grown for a variety of purposes inc medical, magical, domestic, and textile. The cafe provided cakes and coffee with friendly service and even a witchfinder general regaling from the book by King James concerning demonology. A fun and informative visit.

I called past Ford Green Hall but it was closed but I managed to get some great pictures of the 17th Century building and plan to go back to see the inside. It’s not expensive to visit and it’s very quaint. If you like this review please hit the like button thanks. I have since come back and it’s well worth the visit and only £3.50 entry. There are different events going on throughout the year so checkout their website prior to your visit.
