Guided Tour of The Hall Estate | Historic Houses Members
£0.00
Historic Houses members are warmly welcomed to enjoy free entry to our guided tours, offering the opportunity to step inside one of England’s finest Grade I listed Jacobean mansions.
For over 400 years, The Hall Estate has been a place of vision, creativity, and transformation. First home to the Hall family and later the Moulton family, the estate became closely linked to innovation that helped shape Britain’s woollen, rubber, and automotive industries.
Among its most notable residents was Stephen Moulton, the pioneering industrialist who introduced vulcanised rubber to Bradford-on-Avon, transforming the town into a centre of industrial innovation. His grandson, Dr Alex Moulton, went on to become one of Britain’s most celebrated engineers, whose groundbreaking work reshaped modern automotive and bicycle design — from the iconic Moulton Bicycle to the revolutionary rubber suspension system developed for the Mini.
Allow yourself to be immersed in timeless elegance as you explore seven historic rooms across three floors, uncovering the fascinating stories woven into the fabric of this 17th-century house. Led by knowledgeable guides, each tour brings to life the people, ideas, and innovations that shaped The Hall Estate, offering a deeper understanding of its architectural and cultural significance.
Please note that we do not accept walk-ins due to limited space. Reservations are mandatory to ensure availability.
