Saracen's Head, Grade II* listed building in Kings Norton, Birmingham, England
The Saracen's Head consists of multiple late medieval buildings with timber-framed structure, tiled roof, and three bays forming an internal courtyard.
Built in 1492 by merchant Humphrey Rotsey, the Tudor Merchant's House faced St Nicolas Church and later transformed into a public house during the 18th century.
The building, along with the Old Grammar School, received national recognition after winning the BBC Restoration television series in 2004.
The restored complex, now known as Saint Nicolas Place, opened to the public in 2008 and functions as a community resource center.
Queen Henrietta Maria of France reportedly stayed at the Saracen's Head in 1643 during her journey to meet King Charles I.
