This building is amongst those listed in thesis (S2), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is noted that a 17th-century date is suggested by a section of flint walling in east gable, and an associated window (now blocked), plus a stone fire surround on the first floor. The three-storey brick façade dates to the 18th century and has a noteworthy door surround.
