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.

Alderman, purchased the house in 1689.
Nash House and Greyfriars (qv) both have a frieze of scrollwork
dragons and sheaf-like motif.
