Mrs Dale’s Tearoom Menu 2020
Who’s Mrs Dale? Little Moreton Hall is so iconically Tudor, it is easy to forget that this building has a 500 year history as a home. From 1881 to 1908, Ann Dale lived in this part of the building with her family, so we thought this was a fitting space to share images of the Hall’s more recent history with you.

All of our cakes are baked at Little Moreton Hall in our
delightful bakery. We have a team of bakers who have a
passion for producing delicious cakes for you to enjoy.
We use “Freedom Farm” eggs supplied by a National Trust tenant
farmer from Stourhead in all of our baking.The Dale Family Album Ann Dale was mother to a brood of 14. Joseph Henry (the gentleman on the left) took over the tenancy when, at the age of 70, Ann decided she could no longer run the farm. The others are Jessie (left), Minnie (right) and Charlie (right) .
We think the young woman peeping round the tearoom door is either Emily or Maggie. Kathleen Dale (below) re-called how they carried milk to the dairy (now the ladies loos) and salted pigs here in the Tearoom during World War 2.
