HISTORY Moseley Hall is one of a small number of important historic country houses in the Wolverhampton conurbation. The majority of the Georgian house dates to the early 18th Century with some later 19th Century additions. The house is constructed of brick with ashlar stone dressings under a hipped tiled roof. The central pedimented projection above the archway in the coach houses, has an armorial bearing with the legend "Mos Legum Vegit" "Custom Rules The Law" Above the pediment is a lantern with round arched openings and ogival cupola and weathervane. Evidence suggests that there was an earlier building on the site. This significant Hall remained in the Moreton family for many generations until the 1930's. As successful industrialists, Loftus Balfour Moseley, held the High Sheriff position in the early 1900's. MOSELEY HALL
