This building is amongst those noted in thesis (S2), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is recorded that its early 19th-century shell actually contains the ceiling beams and roof of a late 17th-century building with a central chimney stack. Every truss of the roof has two collar, an interesting feature normally associated with much wider buildings such as barns.
