West Bromwich Manor House

West Bromwich Manor House is a medieval timber-framed building with original construction dating from around 1270. The structure contains a Great Hall and other connected chambers built using traditional medieval building techniques.

The original estate was founded around 1270 as the administrative center of a large agricultural territory. The building survived through the region's industrial transformation and was eventually converted into a museum.

The house tells the story of how local families lived and worked across different periods in this region. Rooms reveal everyday habits and social structures from medieval times through later eras.

The museum is accessible with facilities for visitors with reduced mobility and nearby parking available. Knowledgeable staff are present to guide visitors through the different spaces and answer questions.

Ongoing archaeological work beneath the Great Hall regularly reveals details about medieval daily life that were previously unknown. These discoveries show that the ground beneath the building holds stories about the people who once lived and worked here.
