Mendips

Mendips is the childhood home of John Lennon, singer and songwriter with the Beatles. The house stands at 251 Menlove Avenue, Woolton, in Lennon's native Liverpool. The house belonged to Lennon's Aunt Mimi and her husband George. They took him in when he was five because his mother could not cope after John's father left them. It is a 1930s semi-detached property and in 2003 was restored in a 1950s style and re-opened to the public by the National Trust.
