Two houses I visited Friday 13th April both are owned by the national trust. Firstly I want to talk about Wightwick Manor. Pearched on a small hill this is a fine house of Victorian splendour. With its half timber and red brick house this is one of my most favourites I have visited. The house was owned to a paint and varnish making family the manders and the house was built in 1887. Before them came the Wightwick family. The house interior is full of beautiful nooks and crannies with some of the most magnificent rooms.
Moseley old Hall, from a house of grandure to a small farmhouse that saved a king Moseley old Hall has an interesting story and history but most importantly it's more grand on the inside than the outside in 1651 England was in its last few years of cival war with Charles 1st executed Charles the second was on the run after the battle of Worcester. Two tense nights were spent at Moseley before his final escape to France. The house was owned by the wightgreve family.
