Title: Tudor House Gardens, Southampton [Go to resource]
Description: The gardens lay in the ruins of the so-called Norman House, also erroneously known as King John's Palace. This was regarded as one of the earliest stone houses in England, dating from about 1150 to 1175. With the neighbouring Tudor House, the two properties were purchased by Southampton County Borough Council in 1911. They opened as a museum in 1912. The gardens were restored as a Tudor garden, including latterly a recreated Tudor knot garden. In the background we can see the huge cranes creating the western docks extension.
