William Russel's house in Queen Street

Often referred to as John a Port's house, it is the oldest timber-framed building in Salisbury. A deed of 1306 gave William Russel, a wool merchant, this piece of land. The site is now occupied by Crew Clothing, but had been, from 1834 until recently, been occupied by Watson's glass and china shop. Staff are used to visitors coming in to look at the building not the clothes. Next door, the building occupied by Cotswold Outdoor has some original wattle and daub walls exposed upstairs.
