House, No. 8, which stands on part of the site of the Augustinian Friary (21), is narrow, three-storeyed, and mainly of the second quarter of the 19th century but incorporates remains of the 17th-century Lendal House, which was occupied by Sir Richard Osbaldeston and later by Sir Thomas Widdrington, Recorder (died 1664), and then by Sir Thomas Rokeby (Davies, 45). In 1704 it was bought by Thomas Barstow and part of it remained in his family's possession for a hundred years, but part was apparently sold to Alderman Baines soon after 1704 (see Nos. 10, 12, 14). The ground floor has been modernised for a shop.

The 17th-century remains are of two lofty storeys. The side wall to N.W., which fronts onto an alleyway, has the lower part faced with boldly rusticated brickwork. An original chimney between front and back rooms was removed c. 1950; heavy stop-chamfered beams and plain floor joists remain. The roof includes 17th-century timbers, reset.
