Map
Full Description
One range of east-west two-storey building along street. South wall now of 18th/19th century brickwork above flint plinth with openings of that date. Pantile roof. Central tall tapering and plastered stack clearly designed for a much steeper, thatched roof. At centre of south wall is a wide buttress, reaching only to half height, formed of limestone blocks carefully shaped to purpose.
Unless the entire buttress is reused, this suggests a medieval high-status or ecclesiastical origin for the building, very probably one of the two lost chantry chapels (NHER 39461, 39462)
(S1) shows building in faint colouring to southwest of much larger L-shaped complex; (S2) shows the latter grown out so that this building forms the south side of a courtyard.
E. Rose (NLA), 26 January 2007.
