Minworth Greaves, Manor house museum in Bournville, England
This timber-framed building features a two-bay cruck-framed hall with a main roof constructed from a split oak tree creating cruck blades throughout the structure.
Originally built in Minworth during the 14th century, George Cadbury purchased the deteriorating structure and relocated it to Bournville, where Laurence Cadbury supervised its reconstruction in 1932.
The house museum contains a substantial oak table from 1630, originally from Crook Hall in Lancashire, bearing an inscription about its intended permanence in the building.
Located next to Selly Manor Museum, this Grade II listed building presents exhibitions that demonstrate the architectural methods and living conditions of medieval England.
The original windows of this structure used cloth soaked in animal fat instead of glass and were positioned higher than the current reconstructed openings.
