☀️ We hosted one of our popular Tours for All today when one of our resident historians Andy Skinner led an intrepid band on one of the hottest days of the year in exploring myths and mysteries linked to Southampton.
👇Below you'll find a blog post written by Andy linked to just one story touched on during the walk, the question of why our beautiful house has a jetty. https://andyvskinner.wordpress.com/2024/08/15/the-jetty-a-tudor-house-myth/

Sarah, a Little Bear in Care who is spending a few weeks at Tudor House and Garden, is exploring our Tudor and Victorian kitchens this afternoon……

She is rather furry and has wisely decided that spending the afternoon inside on this super sunny Sunday might be the coolest idea…!

Stay cool everyone! ☀️

We had a fantastic tour in the ☀️ at Tudor House when archaeologist Matt Garner led an enthralling sold-out walking tour focused on examining and exploring medieval and post-medieval graffiti engraved throughout the Old Town, looking at merchant marks, daisy wheels, Marian marks and much, much more.
🙏Many thanks to English Heritage for opening up Medieval Merchant's House for us to have a sneak peak at some marks there.
🔗If you would enjoy other weekday doses of history in Southampton there is lots to look forward to, including other walking tours and talks across the City, which you can browse here: https://seacitymuseum.co.uk/whats-on/events-and-activities/
