NHER 1226 (Monument record) - Remains of late medieval building at 18 Queen Street

Before June 1971. Systematic observation and recovery during demolition.
Demolition of an apparently 19th century cottage revealed evidence of a late medieval building ((S1) Fig. 72) of the same plan as NHER 1165 (Fig. 65). The four-centred stone-arched heads of buttery and pantry doors survived in a north to south wall 5.1m (17 feet) behind the street frontage. Access to the hall which measured 5.1m by 10.7m (17 feet by 35 feet), was a passage along the north side of the tenement. The wall foundations cut medieval floors in which sherds of Yorkshire and Grimston jugs were found.
