The house was designed as a cube with an entrance on the south and a rounded two-storey bay on the west front (see 2252-6). A mid-19th century two-storey wing was added on the east side, with a Jacobean style staircase. The ground floor comprised Hall, Saloon and Dining Room , with Dining Room, two Bedrooms and a Chapel on the first floor . The name changed to Moreton Hall in August 1890. It has been a Roman Catholic Prep School since 1962. This image is of a first floor room .
