Book your Place

The Merchant's House in Marlborough, Wiltshire is located in Marlborough's historic High Street. Built during the Commonwealth period, 1653 – 1656, The Merchant's House is a rare example of a middle class silk merchant’s house, containing nationally acclaimed wall paintings and decorative features.
Following the fire of Marlborough in 1653, the house was largely rebuilt by wealthy silk merchant, Thomas Bayly.
The house was altered and extended until about 1700. After this, the house was sub-divided and sublet with many different people occupying the building.
The Merchant's House Trust reunited the two halves of the building in 1999.

The house was decorated with wall paintings, wooden panelling and a commanding oak staircase. A substantial amount of this fabric survives and previously hidden painted decoration is still being revealed.

The ghostly activity witnessed here by staff and visitors is frequent and well documented with the most frequent being:-
- A boy in blue seen on the stairs
- A green lady gliding towards the Dining Room
- Doors opening on their own, for no obvious reason
- Unexplained and disembodied footsteps echoing through the rooms
