Scope and Content 18th-century view of John Knox House, High Street, Edinburgh John Knox House was first mentioned in 1525 as the property of Walter Reidpath. It was inherited by James Mossman, goldsmith to Mary Queen of Scots, in 1556. The link to the house from the person John Knox is tenuous. John Knox House has many features characteristic of 16th-century architecture, including crowstepped gables and a forestair over shops to the first-floor rooms. The Netherbow Port, the main gateway to the Old Town, is on the right. In 1560, as an ordained minister of St Giles, John Knox became the chief inspiration and influence of the Scottish Reformation. Parliament abolished papal authority, the mass was forbidden and a Confession of Faith approved, establishing Protestantism. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
