There is a reference in (S3) which [1] attributes to this site to a tenement used by the Trinity Guild in 1498. There is also a mention in the Lynn Advertiser of 1898 of the arches of a medieval ground floor undercroft being found, during works that destroyed a Gothic doorframe and panelling in the south wall of the public house. This is likely to relate to the postulated 13th to 14th century storerooms beneath a merchant's house in the neighbouring property (NHER 35062).
