Southampton Tudor House and Garden
Southampton Tudor House and Garden, House museum in Old Town, Southampton, England.
Southampton Tudor House is a house museum in the Old Town that reveals different construction phases through its exposed timber frames and stone foundations. A restored garden complements the rooms with their original furnishings from various periods.
The building began as a Norman residence in 1180 and was later enlarged by a merchant between 1400 and 1550. This transformation during the later medieval period shaped its current form and identity.
The house takes its name from the period when it gained its present form, revealing how prosperous merchants lived and worked. Furnished rooms and household objects on display tell stories of trade and daily life across the centuries.
The location on Bugle Street offers convenient access near Southampton Central Station for visitors arriving by public transport. The site features guided tours, educational programs, a garden cafe, and a shop for those wanting to explore at their own pace.
During renovation work, builders uncovered sailor graffiti carved into the walls dating from 1570 to 1620. These hidden inscriptions provide a direct view into the lives of people who once inhabited the space.
