Abstract:		 Archaeological recording of an important former merchants house dating from the early 15th century. During the removal of the post-medieval floor, a medieval floor was exposed with an original open hearth consisting of tiles laid one end within the hall of the house. The medieval floor had been bricked over with poorly fired bricks to conceal the hearth. Along with the hearth were deposits of charcoal extending beyond the hearth to one side, terminating at a truncated construction thought to be a water tank or some other similar construction for heating water. The remains of a culvert were noted in the foundation wall adjacent to the hearth and were thought to be part of the system of bringing water into the house at a constant rate , probably to be heated as part of the industrial process of producing broad cloth that kersey was famous for. Further finds were the possible remains of an extension to the side of the property in the form of post holes, also probably part of when the house was a commercial premises. Original pigments exposed on the outer rendering of the house were of a pinkish colour and may represent the original colour wash for the house exterior. The find of a transom beam (moulded) within the rear of the house formed part of a blocking -up of the original window and may have come from the window which was sealed over.
