January 2003. Field Observation.
Interior of ground floor of 10A inspected (first floor is 10B reached by stairs of late date). There is indeed a triple rollmoulded bridging beam just east of the west wall; the junction is clamped with iron and part boxed. At the north end the beam has a large motise in the underside. A single rollmoulded joist runs east parallel with the bridging beam, but most of the ceiling is concealed. Original rear wall clad, opening to later extension; south partition to No 10 is at least partly of bricks and laths; it is very likely a later insertion. These mouldings could be late medieval.

According to (S2) evaluatory stripping between 10 and 10A confirmed that it is of late brickwork with one short horizontal timber, probably a lintel for an opening.
