Church House

This building in Crane Street beside the River Avon began life as a merchant’s home. Wealthy William Lightfoot built himself a courtyard house in the 15th Century, which he called 'The Falcon'. It became the city workhouse in 1628. After the complex was taken over by the Diocesan Office for Salisbury, it was remodelled in 1887 by Weymouth architect George Crickmay.
