An interesting building. You captured the detail in the facade. I read that it is "one of the last of the great timber-framed townhouses in England." The door in the gable is prominent in the photo, which begs the question of why there should be a door there. Wiki said, "It was also probably used as a grain warehouse because in the gable are double doors and a bracket for a hoist."
