Description
RCHME survey of 1 & 2 East Bay. The east half of the front block is a wing of a 15th century house, including the 'screens'. The rest of the block was rebuilt in the 17th century and there are 17th and 18th century wings at the back. The upper storey projects in front and below it is an original doorway with a four centred head. Inside the building the 'screens' are now represented only by the heavy beams of the former partitions. There are remains of the original king post roof.' <1>
