Blakesley Hall, Tudor house museum in Yardley, Birmingham, England
The timber-framed residence features dark wooden beams contrasting with white walls, decorated with traditional herringbone patterns across its exterior surfaces.
Richard Smalbroke constructed this residence in 1590, making it one of the oldest buildings in Birmingham and a testament to merchant prosperity.
The bedchamber contains original Tudor wall paintings that demonstrate the decorative preferences and social status of sixteenth-century English merchant families.
Visitors can explore the house from Easter to October 31, Tuesday through Sunday between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM with guided tours available.
During World War II, a bomb struck the building in November 1941, leading to extensive repairs that delayed its reopening as a museum until 1957.
