The Lattice House

11 am Regis Saxophone Quartet
1.30 pm & 3 pm Hilgay All Stars

A late 15th-century timber-framed house with various later alterations and extensions. The house was built in about 1480 as a single range fronting the street, probably with shops on the ground floor and domestic accommodation above. In the late 15th century, the south wing was added, followed by the north wing in the early 16th century and the central wing in the 19th century. The façade has a jettied first floor, with a dragon post at the south-east corner. Inside there is an open hall with a crown post roof as well as some original window frames and wall paintings.
By 1714, the south part of the building was being used as an inn, and the ‘Lattice’ name was first adopted at this time, probably recalling alehouse windows which were screened with a trellis or lattice, and generally painted red.
A piscina was uncovered at the east end of the south wall, comprising a stone trough, possibly relocated from the Augustinian Friary following dissolution in 1539.
