Description
RCHME survey of 30-32 East Stockwell Street, Colchester. 'The S tenement is probably part of a late 14th century house and includes the 'screens' of a former Hall extending towards the N. In the 15th century a wing was added W of the original block and about the middle of the 16th century a three storied building replaced the former Hall. The N tenement is of c1500 and may have been a separate building. At the back is a small almost detached wing, partly of the 17th century. The upper storey projects at different levels on the whole of the E front; the gable of the middle block also projects and has a 16th century moulded bressumer. The former 'screens' has at the E end an original doorway, but with the head removed. Further S are the remains of the head of a 15th century doorway or window. On the N side of the W wing is a 15th century window with diamond shaped mullions; further W are two late 17th century windows with solid frames. Inside the building the former 'screens' has in the S wall two original doorways with moulded jambs and two-centred heads; in the N wall are two square-headed doorways, one of the 15th or 16th century and one later; at the W end of the passage is a doorway with an ogee head, probably original. The middle block has 16th century moulded ceiling-beams. The W wing has a 16th century fireplace with a moulded lintel and on the first floor are remains of a 15th century king post' <1>
