Tudor House, England

Today we toured Tudor House, Southampton’s most important historic building.
The house was originally constructed in the 1490s near Southampton's prosperous port by the builder of the Mary Rose, John Dawtry.
It is thought the house survived the World War II blitz because German pilots wanted to preserve nearby St Michael's church as a navigation aid.
With its Tudor banqueting hall, Georgian drawing room and Victorian kitchens, the Tudor House Museum has five centuries of life under one roof.
The is also a garden in back with a fountain, a seat arbour, and several cannons (something no garden should be without!).
