714-1/76/386 (South side)
No.7

GV II

House, now restaurant. Probably early C19, retaining remains
of C17 and possibly earlier structure. Rendered, stone slate
roof. 3 storeys, 2 first- and second floor windows to street,
a narrow range projecting back approx 6 bays from the street.
Restaurant facade to ground floor, sashes above.
INTERIOR: reputed to contain roof timbers of C17 or medieval
date.
The building retains its C18/C19 character in a street largely
altered in the later C19 and C20. The 1850 Ordnance Survey map
indicates that this is the site of Rockley Hall, bought by
John Harrison in 1603 and described by Ralph Thoresby in 1715
as an antique form of timber building. Thoresby records that a
new brick building then stood on the site, some of the timbers
reused. Although considerably altered through the C19 it is
likely that the existing building retains these earlier
features.
