These buildings are part of the only surviving range of the palace built by
Archbishop Warham in the early Cl6. The original walls of red brick with blue
headers and stone quoins and dressings. High galleted rubble plinth with moulded
stone coping. Windows of 1 or 2 Tudor-arched lights, mostly under hoodmoulds.
The 2-storey cottages, of 1 or 2 windows' width, have 1st floors rebuilt in
brick and rebuilt tiled roofs. Modern casement windows and modern doors, that
of No 2 under original, 4-centred stone arch. Storage building (AM) (formerly
the chapel) also has renewed tiled roof hipped over half-octagonal ends. 2
doors under moulded stone arches, 1 3-centred and one 4-centred.
At west end of the range stands the roofless tower of the palace, now a
scheduled AM but visually part of the group.
