The Old House, on Sheep Street, is a Grade II listed timber-framed, thatched-roofed building known locally as the ‘Tudor House,’ and owned by Wellingborough Council. Originally built as two houses, reputedly of medieval origin, the foundations are thought to date back to AD 948 but the building is mainly sixteenth century. It is one of the few domestic buildings which survived the great fire of Wellingborough of 1738 and the only thatched house in the town. In the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, it was owned by the Wellingborough brewery company William Dulley & Sons, who restored and gifted the building to Wellingborough Urban District Council in 1920. More recent times have seen the building used as an antique shop, the Tudor House Restaurant and as a Chinese restaurant. Following extensive refurbishment, and research, the pub opened on 17th November 2017. Historic England List Entry Number: 1040602 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1040602
