Built by early 17thC.

Also given as the RISING SUN

Left by landowner Thomas Randall to his grandsons in 1738, one of several houses in his estate.

At least 3 Lowestoft porcelain mugs are known to exist bearing the words ` Edward Amond, The Rising Sun'  and dated 1768.
( He was formerly a groom to the Earl of Buckingham ).

The sign at one time was a carved & gilded image of the sun with radiating rays.
This sign is known to have survived at least to the late 1970's since it was propped up against a wall in one of the rooms then used as accommodation for students.
