This building is amongst those listed in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is noted that although the long, two-storeyed street range has flint rubble wall but it is only the roof that now indicates a 17th century date. The interior was reworked in the 18th century when a rear block was added to the street range.
