St Mary's House (now flats) and Former Stables to North East of St Mary's House TM 49 SW 1/12A

II

2. Early 19th century. 2 storeys. Suffolk yellow brick. Wood modillion cornice. Slates. Plinth. 5 windows, sash with glazing bars and flat arches. 6-panel door with patterned fanlight, in wood case with panelled reveals continuing under arch, Doric 3/4 columns and modillion entablature. This house was occupied by a succession of headmasters of a school which was endowed by Dr Henry Falconbridge LLD under a will dated 1712, but which became effective in 1770 after the death of intervening beneficiaries. St Mary's was left as such by Dr Falconbridge for use as a school, which was held in a succession of buildings including the Town Hall. During the present century the extensive stabling was converted for use as school-rooms, and a modern tablet with the Falconbridge coat of arms, and HF17 1712 inscribed, was put up to record the origin of the school.
