HISTORICAL NOTE: an earlier house on this site was rebuilt late
C18. Mealcheapen street flourished particularly in the C16 and
early C17, predominantly as a retail outlet; Hughes: 'it was
the proximity to the Cornmarket that gave the street much of
its prosperity and led to the establishment of a number of
large inns.'
The listed buildings in Mealcheapen Street form a group with
the listed buildings in Cornmarket and the Church of St
Swithun, Church Street (qqv).
