September 1976. Building Survey.
Examined by Royal Commission.
Two storey and attic house of red brick with pantiled roof. Probably originally timber-framed but later encased. Although the inside has been completely altered to accommodate a public house it appears that it orginally had a three-cell plan of a type more to be expected in the country than in the town.
Two moulded beams on first floor. Roof is of six bay with butt-purlins.
In the 19th century the west part was joined to the adjacent mid 19th-century house on the north to give increased public accomodation. At this time the first floor combined room was presumably a club room.
A small winding stair in the south-east corner leads to the attic and formerly also led to the ground floor.
See report (S2) for further details.

This building is amongst those listed in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is described as a 17th-century two-storeyed building ranged along the street, with a brick skin that may conceal a timber frame. It has an axially off-centre stack, plus another stack against the opposite gable. It is stated that the internal alterations made to accommodate its use as a public house mean it is now difficult to assess the original lay-out.
