The Tudor House

Tudor House is one of Weymouth's treasured Tudor buildings and thought to have been a merchant's property. It originally fronted an inlet from the main harbour allowing ships to be moored alongside.

Its original use came to an end with the filling in of the inlet and it was converted into to small houses, which eventually became derelict, having been empty during the Second World War and suffered bomb damage,

In the 1950's a local architect acquired the property and restored it to a single dwelling, which he furnished in the style of an early seventeenth century home. By the architect's will the house became the property of the Weymouth Civic Society and its future as a show piece of Weymouth's past was assured.

A tour of the house gives a fascinating insight into the life of the early seventeenth century. Guides relate the history of the house and describe the use of the many objects on display.

Group bookings can be made for any time during the year. Special tours are provided for school parties with the emphasis on junior school curriculum requirements.
