King John's Hunting Lodge

Visit the Tudor lodge

Visit a beautiful early Tudor timber-framed merchant’s premises in the centre of Axbridge.

The lodge's jettied upper stories are typical of Tudor oak-framed buildings.

Upper floors of such buildings would often have almost touched each other across the street.
