Monument record MCC236 - 17th century house, Culver Street, Colchester (site of)
Summary
17th century house, at the corner of St Nicholas Street and Culver Street East, Colchester, now demolished.

Full Description
17th century house, now demolished.
RCHME survey of house, 'at corner of St Nicholas Street is of three storeys with two gables on the W front. The second storey projects on the W and S sides and the two gables also project on large shaped brackets'.<1>
The accuracy of this record, however, is in doubt because a detailed survey was made of Jacks, 5-6 St Nicholas Street (which is at the corner of St Nicholas Street and and Culver Street East), in 2017 (ECC4001). This showed that 5 St Nicholas Street was probably built in the late 15th century, followed by 6 St Nicholas Street in the late 16th or (more probably) early 17th century.<2>
