The Tudor house, one of the largest in Colchester and situated at the east end of the long High Street near the Castle, was bought by Isaac Boggis, a successful bay maker, for £420 in 1731.
After some difficult trading years the house passed to his son, Thomas, also a merchant. He rebuilt and modernised parts of The Minories turning it into an elegant Georgian residence. The architect chosen for the remodelling was probably John Alefounder (1732-1787).
