Grade II Listed shop with 14th century timber framing formerly the site of the Lion Inn mentioned in a will of 1619. The building actually comprises two medieval structures, 36-40 having a broad frontage parallel to the street, and 34 representing a range at right-angles to the street; the presence of a primary cart entrance could suggest a courtyard plan from the outset. The front range, which has an aisled hall, has been dated by dendrochronology to 1352.
