The King's House (Salisbury Museum), Salisbury, Wiltshire

This house was the original Prebendal residence of the Abbot of Sherborne (13th century). After the Reformation it was the residence of Thomas Sadler, Registrar to the Bishops of Sarum, who entertained James I here, hence the name. The house became a Teacher Training College for Woman Teachers in 1852 and is described in Thomas Hardy's "Jude the Obscure".
