fine early C16 moulded timber ceiling which does not extend the full width

is lit by a frieze window. The first floor of the street range has the re-
mains of the C15 timber frame with expanded head wall posts, arch braces
and cambered ties. C19 roof, but the south gable has a truss embedded into

large cambered collars. Beneath the rear range is a 2 bay brick built under-

The building is graded II for the undercroft, which forms part of an impor-
tant group within the City walls and for the surviving late C15 timber framing.
