taller than the rear range). 2-window range of sashes of 8+8
lights, one on the first floor being an early C19 original,
the others C20, all with moulded surrounds. The elevation to
Bull Alley has on the ground floor one C19 sash of 6 lights,

INTERIOR: the front range has unjowled posts, primary straight
bracing, chamfered binding and axial beams with lamb's tongue

soffit of the front wallplate for sliding shutters, and a
complete unglazed window with 3 diamond mullions on the first

windows on the first floor were discovered in 1988, with
mullions of a section which is common from 1620, in excellent
condition externally. These features merit special care. There
is a similar window, dated 1623 by inscription, at the granary
of Cressingham Temple Farm (not included).
