John Fortin, a merchant who traded with Bordeaux, started building this house c. 1290. A residence and place of business, it stood on one of the busiest streets in medieval Southampton. It has now been restored to its mid-14th-century appearance by the removal of later additions. The house stands near the medieval town wall, built to defend Southampton against seaborne attacks.
