(High St) The graceful arched roof of 13th-century St Mary's Church is studded with fascin-
ating wooden bosses, mainly dating from the 15th century and carved into flowers, cheeky
faces, mythical beasts, fish, and even a mermaid holding a comb and mirror. The young
Henry Tudor was hidden here before fleeing to Brittany. It's thought he left via a tunnel
into the cellars under Mayor Thomas White's house across the road (where Boots is now).
There's also a memorial here to Robert Recorde, the 16th-century writer and mathem-
atician who invented the 'equals' sign, and an eerie cadaver-topped tomb intended to re-
mind the viewer of their own mortality.

(Quay Hill; adult/child £3.40/1.70; 11am-5pm Easter-Oct, closed Tue) Tenby's oldest buildings are
found on steep Quay Hill. This handsome townhouse was once the dwelling of a
late-15th-century merchant and has been restored as it would have been in 1500. Period
furnishings and the remains of early frescoes can be seen on the interior walls. The mer-
chant's shop, kitchen, bedchamber and the latrine tower can all be explored.
