The Trackway

The Trackway
The Spain
Property
The trackway referred to on the plaque on this 16th century house is that of the road from Winchester to Chichester, passing close to the Roman villa at Stroud which is situated to the west of the town.
​The name of The Spain probably refers to an old Norse word for tiles which replaced thatched roofs here in the 14th century. As you turn the corner into Swan Street, notice the Jolliffe almshouses (1771) on the corner with their own dedicatory stone set in the wall.
