Single-depth plan, the rear overhanging the S aisle of All
Hallows, Corn Street (qv).

chamfered at street level and the upper parts corbelled out; a
central Tudor-arched doorway with a label mould, and a
studded, ribbed door; cross windows with metal casements, a
3-light window to the right on the second floor, and a
single-light window over the door. Irregular fenestration to
the left gable end: a canted ground-floor bay on the right
with cross windows and a roll-top parapet, and a
cinquefoil-headed 2-light window to the left above the steps
down to the basement; single-light windows over the bay and to
the attic.
INTERIOR: contains a ground-floor mid C20 stair; first-floor
room has a Tudor-arched stone fireplace with cyma and hollow
moulding and splayed stop at the base, chamfered beams, with
15 WH 85 painted on one, and a covered window with trefoil
head looking on to the church below; second-floor room has a
similar fire place, and a 3-bay roof rebuilt c1980 with
cambered collars and ties, clasped purlins, ceiled above the
collars; a small window with splayed reveals and trefoil head

The house is traditionally said to have been built on to the
SW corner of the church (qv) in 1422 as a parsonage. The
visible evidence points to a remodelling in the C16.
