This building is amongst those noted in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. Early 16th century building. It is described as a long building of early 16th-century date with timber-framed walls front and back. The second floor is a later addition and the original plan of the building was lost when large 19th- and 20th-century rear extensions were added. It is dated by the timber framing and a tie-beam with evidence for a former queen-post roof.
