Tudor House was purpose built in the 17th century as a coaching inn to serve the Ludlow to London route. It has been extended and adapted over the years but still retains original features and architectural flourishes reflecting trends of the passing eras. The house has been through many phases. It has served as a farmstead and a private residence. For 80 years, it was the headquarters for H.W Keil Ltd, a renowned leading dealers in antique furniture. It is now one of the only 17th century buildings in Broadway that you can see inside and explore.?Since 2013 it has been home to Broadway Museum and Art Gallery.
The Museum explores the heritage and history of Broadway village and tells the story of it?s success through the wool trade and the popularity of the village with travellers and artists. The unique collection includes paintings, porcelain and artefacts curated by the Ashmolean in Oxford, and the furniture has been selected from the Keil?s Antiques Collection. The local exhibits are ever evolving.
