Probably a fellmonger's workshop or warehouse, now a disused warehouse. Probably late
C17, with some C19 alterations. Probably for Samuel Sutton, fellmonger. Rubble,
corrugate sheet roof. 2 storeys and loft, 3 roof bays internally. South elevation
has, on ground floor, 6-pane window, small C20 window and C19 doorway partly-blocked
to form window. First floor has central C19 loading bay with leaved panelled doors,
and a 6-pane window; below the loading bay are visible the ends of 2 timbers used to
plate an internal beam; above the loading bay, but about 1 metre below the eaves, are
visible the ends of 2 cross-beams forming part of the roof trusses, which may once
have projected out to form a gantry. Chimney stack to left end, from a flue inserted
in the adjoining building. Rear: ground-floor doorway within adjoining wall partially
masking building; in centre of first floor a blocked single-light window with chamfered
dressed-stone surround. Left return: ground-floor doorway; 8-pane window in gable.
Right return: blocked ground-floor opening; large first-floor window opening.
Interior: first floor supported on 3 C17 timber beams, the central one plated at its
southern end: brick-lined circular feature in north-west corner of first floor, pos-
sibly a circular stairwell, 2 upper cruck roof trusses with collars, the tie beams reused
and turned. No 60 Market Place was owned in the early C18 by Samuel Sutton, a prominent
member of Richmond's Fellmongers' Guild, who is known to have practised his craft
1693-1733. The warehouse is a rare surviving example of an early non-domestic building
within the burgage plot of its original frontage house, encased within a Georgian
elevation.
