Museum, High Street, Brading, Isle of Wight
This timber framed house was built in the early 1500s as a rectory. It is believed to be the only close studded house on the Isle of Wight. Close studded refers to the type of timber framing used to build it. After being used as a rectory it was then a town house for the Oglander family. During the 1600s in became the Crown Inn. In 1640, when it was an inn, the French spy Louis de Rochefort was reportedly murdered here. It is now part of a museum (2010).
