Tudor Trader House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tudor trader's house in its present location at St Fagans

The Tudor Trader House is a 16th-century house originally constructed at Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and now relocated at St Fagans National History Museum, Cardiff.

The house, which previously stood on a bank near Quay Street in Haverfordwest, was taken down during the 1980s and rebuilt at St Fagans in 2012 by the same group of men who dismantled it.[1] Its original location suggests that it may have been the home and place of business of a merchant or trader.[2] It is thought that the residents lived in a single room upstairs, with a sleeping loft above, and stored goods on the ground floor.

It is the 42nd building to be relocated at the museum, but only the second from Pembrokeshire.[3]

The reconstructed house is furnished and decorated as it would have been in around 1580.
