This block is amongst the buildings listed in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is described as a 16th-century two-storey building with flint rubble walls. The position of the stack suggests that it was either a three-cell building or a building with one large and one small room. A second floor was added in the 18th century. At the time it was examined its interior reflected its 20th-century use as a storeroom.
