Merchant's House

Arguably the most complete Tudor building in Plymouth, Merchant’s House now contains a museum of local history. Its higgledy-piggledy collection includes an old ducking stool (devices that were used to punish women for crimes and minor infractions by strapping them to a chair and plunging them into a river). There’s also a replica Victorian schoolroom.
