Its heritage is marked by a plaster relief of a 16th-century ship on the exterior and the date 1589 carved into the facade. The site itself has origins dating back to the 14th Century, with ownership tracing back to Robert Garsett in 1570. More recently, it was owned by solicitor Ernest Kent, who bequeathed it to the Norfolk and Norwich Archaeological Society. Viewing Highly Recommended.
