The building, in 2021

The building was constructed as a house, in about 1600. It is timber framed and both of the upper floors are jettied to the Fossgate front. It was originally just one room deep, with a staircase behind, but in the late 17th century, a brick wing was added at the rear. This has a times served as a separate tenement, known as "Morrell Yard". They are accessed through a passage on the left side of the ground floor, which has a door with a late-17th century hood. Inside the building, some timber framing is visible on the ground floor, and there is a rebuilt brick fireplace.^[1][2]
