Tudor House was built in the late 16th or earlym17th century.
In 1937 the properties were almost demolished after being declared unfit for habitation by the Borough Medical Officer of Health. A local conservation group was established and work was due to start but war was declared, the properties being damaged in an air raid.
At the time it was formed of two cottages.
Only in 1959 was a grant made available for their restoration and the only member of the original trustees was architect Ernest Wamsley Lewis. He used local craftsmen to undertake extensive restoration work. The work was completed in 1961 and the property converted into one unit. When he died he left it to Weymouth Civic Society, which he had founded in 1944.
It is open to the public on Fridays and Sundays from April to the end of September.
The first photo shows it prior to restoration and the second a view of one of the rooms following restoration.
