💦Southampton's history is pretty amazing, in all sorts of ways! One part of its eclectic past is its municipal water system, which operated for centuries! Parts of the infrastructure still survives, and on 14th October we will be offering the opportunity to investigate the story with a special walking tour, led by historian Andy Skinner.

Great Scott!!

A recent (or possibly future…) visitor in a rather understated car spotted a familiar figure at Tudor House on his travels…..!

Who might you spot on your next visit?

Have you ever seen a Hummingbird Hawk Moth?!

The Guardian have recently put the current boom in migrating moth sightings down to hot weather, strong winds and food scarcity in Europe………

……. & these conditions have meant the beautiful fluttering friends have been making the most of our very own Tudor knot garden!

Tim at Tudor House took this gorgeous video just this morning and we’ve been enjoying seeing the moths busy among the bushes every morning for the last few weeks!

Why not pop down for a visit to Tudor House & see if you can spot them!?
