  Scene showing the Merchant's House, Marlborough, Wiltshire (Wilts), England   The Merchant's House, Marlborough, Wiltshire.

This 17th Century house, built for Thomas Bayly, is in the High Street and is open to the public. It is one of the best examples of the merchants houses in Marlborough built after the great fire in 1653.

The Merchant's House shop occupies the ground floor of this building and profits made from the shop are donated to the restoration fund and our shop is staffed predominantly by volunteers which offer our customers a valuable insight into what we are trying to achieve.
