Old King's Head I

This 17th century building is on the site of the earliest recorded stone house in Chester. In 1208, Peter the Clerk, a chief officer of Earl Ranulph III lived here. Peter was the forerunner of the later mayors - he was allowed to keep his own court and was granted a fishing boat on the Dee above the weir. He bought the house from John Gunde and Agnes Outhcarle, both names of Scandinavian origin, and this is the area of Chester where the Viking settlement would have been.
