Full Description
Site of house.
East side of Ludham Street, L shaped house with brick façade. 18th century? And brick and cobble back, 17th century?,
demolished in 1960s. Frieze of plaster panels around walls of one of the front rooms 'at about picture rail height' of three motifs; prancing griffin, displaying eagle, and bird or eagle looking over shoulder. Known as Royal Garrets House after 19th century owner.
Informant [1] has one example of each type of panel; two panels of first two motifs with District Council.
Sketch plan and details in letter. House location worked out by E.B. Green (NCM) from postcard of about 1905.
E.B. Green January 1985 (to NAU August 1985). Sounds very like the 17th century frieze in McIntyre House, New Buckenham.
