Southwick Brewhouse is a late medieval structure located in Hampshire, England, that represents an important example of industrial brewing infrastructure from the fifteenth or sixteenth century. The building survives as a substantial stone-built structure that retains evidence of its original function, including features associated with the brewing process typical of the period. As an ecclesiastical or manorial brewhouse, it reflects the organisation of food and drink production within larger household or monastic establishments, which commonly maintained dedicated brewing facilities to supply ale for consumption by residents and workers. The survival of such structures from this period is relatively uncommon, making Southwick Brewhouse a valuable archaeological record of medieval domestic economy and technology.
