This building is now owned by English Heritage it has been restored as it was damaged by a German bomb in 1940 which laid bare the medieval structure of the house.
Also it was used as a brothel during the war. I don't know if any ladies of the night were hurt before of after the bombing. :-))

Clive, sorry your old building will never beat the old buildings we have here in Southampton. Yours was built in1607, and this building and others are 1290. The spire you can see in the background belongs to St Michaels Church which was built in 1070, and the church is still used today.

Quite a contrast Irene! That old building has really "weathered" the years.

I'm impressed... Most ancient buildings are made of stone. This one looks like wood
