Description
NRHE data transfer:
A two-storey, timber-framed building dating from the late 14th century. A range was built to the rear in the 17th century and an outbuilding added to one side in the early 18th century. The building was once jettied on three sides but was refronted in brick in the late 19th century. The internal layout suggests that it may originally have been used as a public building. The possibilities include a guildhall, court hall or a college of canons. Listed. <1>
