Roof has butted and trenched purlins with splayed scarf joints, slightly joggled and bridled. HISTORICAL NOTE: the house was in the process of being built when Richard Nash died in 1605. He left it to his son, John Nash (later alderman and noted Worcester benefactor), he lived at Nos 5 and 6 (qv) but left Nash House to his to his kinsman, Richard Nash of Droitwich. Richard moved into the house in 1674 and made alterations, adding 2 new chimneys and coach access. He also probably gave the house its name. John Hughes, Alderman, purchased the house in 1689. Nash House and Greyfriars (qv) both have a frieze of scrollwork dragons and sheaf-like motif.
