Rampant Horse St 11 to 13 [1016] 1936-06-14
Facing Mingay House at the corner of what was then St
Stephen's Church Lane (which became the north end of
Malthouse Road) stood a fine Tudor house of three
storeys. Timber framed and with walls of plaster, it had
an overhang at both first and second-floor levels, with a
small bracket supporting the upper corner. A long range
of weavers' windows lit the top floor on the side
overlooking the main street, and although tiled, one can
imagine that the roof was originally thatched.
Undoubtedly had it survived to the present time the house
would have been listed as Grade I under the Town and
Country Planning Acts. |

Rampant Horse St 14 [3206] 1939-08-07
In Rampant Horse St, very little here survived the
disastrous air raids of April 1942. Until that time there
was at No 14 the western half of a fine Georgian mansion
- its eastern half having been demolished earlier in the
20c to be replaced by a branch of Boots the Chemists.
What remained could hardly be said to have been improved
by the large shop front, but the original central doorway
was undisturbed. This was really the prize feature of the
old building, its pillars, tympanum, jambs and lintel
being all well executed. The elaborate carving which
filled the tympanum has been surmised to represent the
laurel branch vert, once part of the arms of the Mingay
family, surrounding the initials "M.M." for the
Reverend M.Mingay, the last of the family to own the
property. On 29th September 1749, he conveyed it to one
Timothy Matthews, a working carpenter.
A notable occupant was John Mackerell, who died in 1723
aged 80 and lies buried with his wife in St Peter
Mancroft Church. He was the father of Benjamin, author of
manuscript histories of Norwich, King's Lynn, and the
parishes of St Peter Mancroft and St Stephen's, Norwich.
At the beginning of the 20c Mr W.J.Sadd was the owner and
it was occupied by the School of Music and various
offices. |

Redwell St Clement Court view NE [3221] 1939-08-07
Redwell St connects Elm Hill to Bank Plain, near to which
was Clement Court. When in 1957 the Norfolk News Company
extended their London St premises northwards and
eastwards, the houses in this court, along with others
facing Redwell St, were demolished. Until then the
courtyard entrance, which was closed by an iron gate, had
an ornamental grille set in the arch, with the keystone
above inscribed "Clement Court 1816".
On the right-hand side of the court, just beyond the
passageway from the street, stood a house of the late 17c
or early 18c. It was chiefly this house that gave the
yard its picturesque appearance, enhanced as it was by
two dormers peeping from the roof and by a rather ornate
doorway. Flanked on either side by pilasters with
Corinthian capitals, the door was sheltered by an
overhanging canopy resting on two carved wooden brackets.
Further up the yard a one-storey building had since 1743
been used as a ballroom and dancing academy by Francis
Christien and his son Edward; they were succeeded by
Francis Noverre. During the latter half of the 19c it was
a chapel, and it later served as the laboratory of the
city analyst from 1900 to 1947.
From the historical point of view, though, the
court’s chief claim to fame is now to be seen
declared by the following inscription above its present
entrance: "Near this spot on 6th September 1701,
Francis Burges published the first number of the Norwich
Post. The first English provincial newspaper." |

Rosemary Lane Pykerell's House east front [0442]
1935-04-14
"This is the southern part of a late 15th century
merchant's house, which seems originally to have had a
further extension to the north. In the centre of what
remains is a small open hall (20 feet by 16 feet) with a
fine open roof of tie-beam and queen-post construction.
There was a bay-window recess on either side, the moulded
rear arch of that on the north side still intact, while
considerable indications of that on the south side
remain. In the spandrels of the arches were four shields,
now blank, but which once bore (Kirkpatrick's Notes) the
arms of Pykerell with his merchant's mark, together with
the arms of Norwich City and of the Mercers' Company. At
the lower (eastern) end of the hall is the original
stud-partition wall, which still retains the framework of
three doors, leading to pantry, buttery and cellar. The
kitchen (now no longer in existence) was probably further
to the north, on the site now covered by a later
building, and reached from the hall by passing through a
courtyard. Early in the 16th century this end of the
house seems to have been reconditioned. At the further
west end is the former parlour with its large fire-place
having moulded brick jambs. This room seems to have been
reached by a lobby off the northern bay-window recess, in
the west wall of which the top of a door-frame survives.
Over this parlour is a large upper room originally
reached by a separate staircase. Early in the 17th
century a floor was inserted in the hall, and windows to
light the upper part were made in the south wall."
"The house was apparently first known as Pilgrims'
Hall, but it seems undoubtedly to have been built and
inhabited by Thomas Pykerell, mercer, who was three times
Mayor of Norwich, in 1525, 1533 and 1538. In the 19th
century it became a licensed house and was known as the
Rosemary Tavern. It so continued until 1931, when it was
included in a slum-clearance scheme, but being bought by
the Norfolk Archaeological Trust, its present owners, it
was reconditioned and so saved from destruction. In the
1942 blitz the thatch was entirely burnt off and much
damage was done to the building. It was saved by the
Ancient Monuments Division of the Ministry of Works, who
prevented demolition and did such first-aid repairs as
were possible at the time, but for six years it remained
empty and in a semi-ruinous condition. It has lately
again been reconditioned and is now one of the oldest
inhabited houses in Norwich."

Vol.CVI, 1949) |
