HISTORY: Northumberland Place was built on a medieval close, Marchant's Court, as is clearly shown in Gilmore's map of 1694. The buildings are individually modest, but together have unity and group value. A particularly charming terminal feature at the east end is the archway into High Street, with, above it, the pedimented rear elevation of No.21 High Street (qv).
