Tudor Merchant's House, Grade I listed building in Tenby, United Kingdom.
The Tudor Merchant's House is a three-story stone building with timber ceilings and a slate roof located on Quay Hill. The layout demonstrates how a merchant's shop and family quarters were integrated into a single structure.
The house was built in the late 15th century when Tenby functioned as an active trading port. It represents the role the town played as a major commercial center during the medieval period.
The furnished rooms show how wealthy merchants lived and worked during the Tudor period. You can see how people who traded goods managed both their business and family life in the same building.
The building is easy to locate in the historic town center and operates as a museum where visitors can explore multiple floors. Allow time to walk through each level and examine the period furnishings and architectural details throughout.
The house features an external latrine tower, a practical solution built into the structure itself. Interior wall paintings from the 18th century remain visible, revealing how tastes and decorating styles evolved over time.
