The plaque http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5157326 on the left records that the building dates from the late 15th century. The octagonal bay was added in the 16th century. While a Unitarian minister, the scientist Joseph Priestley lived here from 1758-1761. The building was undamaged by the Great Fire of 1583 which reached an adjoining building.
