II GV
2. The exterior of this building is entirely modern but within and beneath are older remains. In the basement is a vault, now much mutilated of about 1200. Above is a hall of 6 bays much modernized inside and fitted up as a courtroom. The 2 bays nearest to the High Street are apparently a later addition, perhaps of the late C17. The main hall with its roof with moulded tie-beams and wall plates is probably of the C14-15. The side facing Guildhall Street was faced with an ornamental brickwork facade in 1700. It was entirely remodelled and covered with a cement rendering in 1904. The main walls appear to be flint and chalk rubble in origin. The 2 additional bays have only a flimsy timber-framed wall on the west. The building is scheduled as an AM.
Nos 11 to 15 (consec) form a group.
