19-21 Magdalen Street are amongst the buildings briefly described in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is noted that only the flint rubble rear wall suggests that the street range pre-dates the 19th century. The plan of the rear range dates from the 19th century (when the block was refaced in brick), but the ceiling beams and the roof structure are indicative of a 17th-century date.
