House, No. 76, consists of two timber framd ranges, each of two bays; one at the front, of three storeys buuilt p[arallel to the street, is probably of the 15th century, and one behind, at right angles, of two storeys, probably of late 16th century. The front range has the upper floors jettied to the street, and a carriageway has been cut through the N. end. Little of the original framing remains, but there is enough in the front wall to show that there were substantail braces from sills to main posts, which were crossed by braces to the stud in the middle of each bay. The back range was built against a 16th-century chimney added to the front range. Little of the framing is visible, but one wall retains original studs and bracesfrom posts to wall-plate. One roof truss remains with kerb-principals and collar-beam, carrying side-purlins. The building was renovated in 1971.
