(Formerly listed with No 37)
GV
II*
No 39:- Former shop incorporated into No 41, The Festival House public
house with Medieval undercroft below. C19 building above with C20 alter-
ations. Red brick and pantile roof. 4 storeys. 3 bays. Central panelled
door with panelled pilasters supporting plain architrave. Corner pub-front
to No 41 with corner door and round-arched glazing bars. Recessed door at
left side. 3-light first-floor casement at left side with pilasters and
consoles supporting hood. Sash windows elsewhere with glazing bars,
vertical only in lower sash on 1st and 2nd floors. Tall pub sign on each
corner face. Paired modillion cornice. The interior continues into No 6 St
George's Street. Interior: Undercroft, below No 41 (The Festival House).
C15. Brick vaults with flint walls up to springing level. Modern rendering
and paint cover the two eastern bays and the northern half of the adjoining
bay to the west. 4 bays. Each bay has quadripartite vaulting with double
order ribs and there is a noticeable difference in size between the two
eastern and western bays. The north wall of the two eastern bays of the
undercroft have been thickened and the present entry into the undercroft
in the eastern bay, from the C17 cellar to the north, is modern. This
replaced an earlier opening between the C15 undercroft and C17 cellar
although subsequent rendering of the walls makes it difficult to ascertain
the exact status or date of this opening. The building is listed II*
because of the undercroft that is one of an important group of medieval
undercrofts within the city walls.
