Summary

One of two parallel medieval houses. No. 33 is an exceptionally ornate 14th- or 15th-century hall house with a queen post roof. The parlour end was rebuilt around 1600. No. 31/32 (NHER 16278) is a more crude two storey-house, probably servant accomodation or extended family lodgings for No. 33. The brick floor of a possibly earlier house was found in No. 32 in 1980. This is a possible medieval manorial site.
