The plaque in the pediment reads, 'This House was Presented as Habitations for four poor Women and also Endowed by MR JOHN PALMER of this city Anno 1487.' The lower plaque is badly eroded but appears to read, 'Restored by Nathaniel Rogers M.D.', the rest being illegible. In between, on the coping stones, is carved 'Repaired by the CHAMBER Anno 1759'. The building behind the wall appears much more modern than any of this.
