The Norman House.also known as King Johns house is the only surviving stone built merchants house along the west quay. It was built in 1160 You can just see the windows and doors that were blocked up in 1380 when the waal was built.
West Quay was one of the busiest parts of the medieval town and the sea used to wash up against the walls.It was from here that The Pilgrim fathers sailed in The Mayflower.
