Ancient High House, House museum in Stafford, England
The Ancient High House stands as a six-story timber-framed structure on Greengate Street, featuring original Tudor architecture with exposed wooden beams throughout the building.
Built in 1595 for the Dorrington family, the house gained prominence when King Charles I stayed there in 1642 during the English Civil War period.
Each room of the museum presents different historical periods, from Tudor times through Victorian and Edwardian eras, with authentic furniture and decorative elements.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM, offering guided tours and educational programs for school groups throughout the year.
The attic floor contains the Staffordshire Yeomanry Museum, displaying military artifacts and documenting over 200 years of the regiment's service history.
