25 Church Street

17th Century Royalist: A John Cox is commemorated with a blue plaque in Church Street, Romsey, for being the first local to pledge loyalty to King Charles II after the Restoration, though the plaque's date of 1666 has raised local questions about earlier allegiance.

25 Church Street, Romsey, has a rich history, evolving from possibly a 15th-century house, through various uses as a shop, poor cottages, and part of the parish workhouse, before later becoming a Christian bookshop (Oasis) and being designated a Grade II listed building in 2022, noted for its timber-frame structure refaced in brick.
