INTERIOR: the inserted C17 floor supported by a bridging beam and chamfered joists; above the first floor is chamfered principal rafter of an original truss, and other evidence of timber-framing.

HISTORY: noteable as a house which survived the destruction of the suburb south of the South Gate by Royalist forces during the Civil War siege of the City on 10 August 1643. In process of alteration at time of inspection. The building has a complicated structural history which requires detailed investigation.
