Description

TG 2208 NE ST. BENEDICT'S STREET 15/964 No 4 II Former public house, now shop. Late C18 with the remains of C15 undercroft. Red brick with white brick dressing to carriage arch, roof not visible. 3 storeys, 3 bays with a carriage entry beneath a three-centred arch at the right-hand side. Later shop front with central recessed door. Sash windows to upper floors with flat, rubbed brick arches to the openings. Paired cornice brackets. Extending beneath the entire length of the building is a brick built undercroft which has been partly destroyed by the C18 rebuilding. To the rear, at the east end, is a side chamber with a pointed barrel-vault profile and opposite is the remains of the corner vaulting pier. On the front wall is an arch representing either wall arcading or another side chamber formerly extending beneath the street. The building is listed because of the undercroft which forms part of an important group within the city walls.
