This building is amongst those briefly discussed in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is described as an early 17th-century block with flint rubble rear wall. It is noted that although the front façade is brick this may be an early refacing of a timber-framed wall.
