Address as St. Andrews Broad Street in 1822
Hole In the Wall Lane 1830.
According to Bolingbroke in Norwich Architecture volume XX the house was built into the
chancel of the dis-used Church of St. Crouch in a lane running from Bedford Street to St.
Andrews.
( The Church of St. Crouch was demolished c1515, only the chancel survived - In
1515, James London was buried in the churchyard, at the corner near the sign of the CROWN.
Unfortunately this house has not been further identified. )Information about the fate
of the house is confusing.
According to one source it was demolished in 1825 to make way for building of the Corn
Exchange, but other information says that the tavern was demolished in 1832 to allow the
construction of Post Office Street. Maybe both are partially true, but the date of
demolition was perhaps later, c1836? |
