Two bays remain of an early medieval ground floor undercroft, similar to that at the Town Hall (NHER 5480). This is represented by a pair of arches in the east wall. Building extended to the north in the 16th or 17th century using much medieval ecclesiastical masonry. Street block constructed at some later, pre-18th century date, of which only the east wall remains; facade, and remainder of building, rebuilt about 1700.
Interior gutted and base of facade removed in 19th century.
The evidence suggests that the earliest remains are those of a merchant's house perhaps dating from the 13th or 14th century with vaulted ground floor storerooms.
