Historic Environment Record

The Historic Environment Record (HER) is a database of archaeological sites, monuments and find spots, and other aspects of Southampton's historic environment, such as listed buildings, locally listed buildings, scheduled monuments and historic parks and gardens. The HER may be consulted free of charge by members of the public, developers, archaeological contractors, researchers, and students. (The HER was formerly known as the Sites and Monuments Record.)

God's House Tower: A History of the Museum

God's House Tower stands at the south-east corner of the town walls that had once encircled medieval Southampton. The whole structure is really an amalgamation of two buildings: a simple gatehouse, built in the late 13th century; and a massive spur work, an early 15th century addition consisting of a two-storey gallery and a three-storey tower.
