This is Poole’s best preserved medieval domestic building. Once known as the George Inn it is believed to have been occupied by troops during the Civil War. Initials and dates from that time can still be seen scratched on some of the buildings original fireplaces. The property fell into disrepair until the Society of Poole Men bought and restored it in 1928. Volunteers replanted the unique Tudor walled garden in 2001. Exhibitions and family events are held here as well as an ongoing educational program for local school children.
