About Blakesley Hall Museum
Blakesley Hall is one of the oldest Tudor Halls converted into a museum located in Birmingham, England. More than 400 years later, beautiful Blakesley is still a haven; secluded from the avenues of modern houses that lie beyond its gates. Most parts of the Blakesley Hall Mansion were damaged in a bomb blast a few years after the museum was inaugurated. However, the building was reconstructed using ancient furnishings from the inventory to recreate a structure closest to the original building.
