Description
The Duke of Wellington Public House is a building that dates back to the 13th and 15th centuries, having been restored in 1962-1963. Its foundations and cellars are from the 13th century, originally part of a house built around 1220 by Benedict Ace, one of the earliest known Mayors of Southampton, who served from 1237 to 1245. The house suffered significant damage during the French raid of 1338. In approximately 1494, the remains of this structure were incorporated into the current building by the brewer Rowland Johnson, who named it the Bere House. The name changed to the Duke of Wellington after the Battle of Waterloo when it became a public house. The building features two storeys with exposed square framed timber-framing and plaster infill on a stone base, with the upper storeys oversailing. It has an old tiled roof and two 18th-century windows on the first floor facing the street, along with a modern bar front on the ground floor.
