Description
NRHE data transfer:
No 17 Town Street (Recorder's House). Mid 15th century three-storey town house, jettied at the first and second storey. (RCHM 15). Grade II*. <1>
The Recorder's House. The walls are timber-framed and plastered, and the roof is tiled. The front and back parts of the house were built about 1470-80, but the intervening part is of late 16th or early 17th century date and was probably re-constructed after a fire, of which there is some evidence. The house is an interesting example of 15th century work. <2>
