Tudor House

This building is in St John's Street, it's a 16th Century Tudor House. It was once used as a barracks for Cromwell's men during the English Civil War, this elegant half timbered building is now two separate private dwellings.

  9. Did this used to be a Bed & Breakfast? I stayed at a B & B called Tudor House in Winchester back in 1980.
