COLOURFUL ROMSEY
THE CORN MARKET
Picture Below:
Tudor Rose
This modest looking house has a very long history, though its role as a pub can only be traced back to the 19th century. The building is made of massive oak beams placed close together, as was the style in the 15th century when it was probably constructed. Upstairs, above the bar, is a half timbered Tudor Hall, of impressive quality. There is a stone fireplace at one end. Because of fire regulations the room cannot be opened to the public. During its earlier years as a public house it was called the Bugle. This property was a high status meeting place.
If you are interested in the pubs and inns of Romsey, the book, So Drunk He Must Have Been To Romsey, published by the LTVAS can be purchased from the Visitor Centre.
