Census returns from 1838 indicate that the property was owned by Fredrick Adams, hairdresser and wigmaker, who lived and traded at 4 Stonegate. However, by 1861 the upper floors of 3 and 4 Stonegate were occupied by Susan Meynell.This separation of the upper floors may have resulted
in changes to entrance and access arrangements. In the first half the 20th Century the shop front and ground floor were modernised. (Heritage Statement SYO1990)
