wooden eaves, recessed for every window-head, below steep hipped tile
roof. Strings between floors. 9 windows in broad flush frames, the lower
2 storeys slightly curved, those in the ground floor protected by outside
shutters of fielded panelling. Broad central carriage-way to yard behind.
Braced strut of wrought iron for the inn sign ended with a painted bunch

an assembly room on the first floor beneath a hipped tile roof, three
big C18 sashed windows open onto the courtyard and a single coved plaster
cornice runs round the outer faces of this block. RCHM, page 120 (recording
