At the top of the High Street are Chantry Street and Marlborough Street. This is the oldest part of the town. At the junction stands the 16th century Chantry Cottage, brought from its original site in Chantry Street and re-erected in its entirety.
Take a look into Chantry Street at two of the oldest houses in Andover. Their “jettied” style was common after there-build in the 15th century, before more sophisticated brickwork came into use.
Take a short walk into Marlborough Street, sometimes known as Church Hill, and admire the almshouses on the right which were founded in 1686. At the foot of the hill is an 18th century house which, until recently, was used by Anton Laundry. The yard behind was once a tannery for the town’s leather industry.
