Description
Selly Manor and Minworth Greaves are two timber-framed manor houses moved to Bournville in the early 20th Century by the chocolate manufacturer George Cadbury. They are two of Birmingham's oldest houses and are good examples of medieval and Tudor architecture.
Collections description
The old buildings house a fabulous collection of period furniture and domestic objects. It gives a good insight into what life must have been like in such a house.
