The Medieval Merchant House

This Medieval House dates back to 1290 and was residence to John Fortin, a merchant who traded with Bordeaux.

The House has now been restored to its mid-14th-century appearance by the removal of later additions. The house stands near the medieval town wall, built to defend Southampton against seaborne attacks. Netley Abbey, Calshot Castle and Hurst Castle are all within reasonable travelling distance.

A special audio tour is included in admission price. Furnishings may be touched and the property is accessable to those with mobility difficulties.
