Flemish bond brickwork and tiled roof. 3 storeys and basement, 5-windowed, all sashes with exposed boxes, second floor only with glazing bars, to fine brick voussoirs and brick bands; blocked basement openings both sides of central 6-panel door to diamond pattern transom light, in pilasters and to suspended flat hood with 3-compartment soffit. Blocking course and coped parapet. Brick stack to right. Back has wing to left to plain parapet gable, return with casement and sash windows, then main back wall in 3 storeys with 6 above 12-pane sash and a triple 4-light to brick voussoirs. To the right, now part of the hotel, former No.68 is mid/late C18. Modified Flemish bond brickwork, tiled roof. 3 storeys and basement, 2-windowed. 6-pane above 12-pane, and centred 12-pane to ground floor, all to fine rubbed voussoirs and stone cills, central grille to basement. Coped parapet, large central ridge stack. Each side are 6-panel fielded doors with fanlights to pilaster doorcase and slight open pediment. The building is straight jointed each side. At back is 3-storey, 2-windowed, with 2-light C18 multi-pane casement and lofty arched 30-pane sash, above a tripartite 16-pane to cambered arch and a 20-pane; at lowest level a very wide 4-light casement to moulded mullions, in wide cambered arch, and door to left. INTERIOR: best surviving work in No.67/68, which has a throughway, left, and an interior timber-framed spine wall. Main stair a delicate open-string winder, parallel with spine wall, mahogany swept and wreathed rail and very slender turned balusters; this through 2 storeys. A second, service stair immediately behind with heavy moulded rail, square newels and turned balusters, all painted, and a C18 circular skylight with moulded radial bars. Tight brick winder stair with wood nosings to basement with brick floor and chamfered beam, some brick barrel-vaulted sections. Many C18 panelled doors. It is unfortunate that most of the windows to the central unit have lost their bars; replacement would give distinction to the facade. The property on the corner of St Mary's Lane was formerly the Abbey Garage; an NMR photograph shows the frontage in that form. (Photo in National Monuments Record: 1950-).
