Summary
A two storey L-shaped building with a thatched roof apart from a little pantiling to the left. The ground floor is rendered flint, the first floor timber framed. It is named after Thomas Pykerell, three times mayor from 1525, who probably added the front range at about the same date. The rear range was a late 15th century open hall complete with a full height oriel window, but is now floored. It has a fine Queen-post roof. The building was accurately restored after World War Two, but one should be aware that it was completely gutted by a bomb and only some timbers were good enough for re-use.

A curious fcat is that the sceens passage is incorporated within the cross wing reflecting the wrong length of the re-used roof. Very high status pair of hall bay windows with stone dresssings to the 4-centred arches. For further information see (S4).
