Queen's Aid House, Grade II listed building in Nantwich, England

The Queen's Aid House stands as a three-story timber-framed structure with black-and-white exterior, featuring decorative panels and overhanging floors at 41 High Street.

Local craftsman Thomas Cleese constructed this merchant house in 1584, following the great fire of 1583 that destroyed numerous buildings in Nantwich.

The building bears an inscription commemorating Queen Elizabeth I's contribution of £1,000 to help rebuild Nantwich after the devastating fire.

The structure maintains its original dual-purpose design with a commercial space on the ground floor and residential areas in the upper levels.

Matthew Henry, a noted Nonconformist preacher, spent his final moments in this house in 1714 while visiting to deliver sermons at a local meeting house.
