Old Town House, High Street, Poole

This building is an outstanding example of a late medieval (late 15th/early 16th century) quayside merchant's house. Its past history is confused and it has had many uses. It was reputed to have been the former Guildhall. It possibly housed the George Inn in the 17th century. It was the home of John Scaplen in the early 18th century. In the 20th century it has been used as a museum and it was restored in 1986.
