For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1}
A late 19th century or early 20th century building. The building is a rectangular building of three storeys built in red brick with stone, and with stone and stucco dressings. The ground floor of the building has rare and substantial survival of medieval fabric to the ground floor and north wall, despite later rebuilding. This medieval fabric is part of the 14th century remains of the Dominican Friary (PRN10031) and is associated with further remains of the Dominican Friary in Blackfriars Arts Centre (PRN14529). The west elevation has a five crow stepped gable, and the top of the gable is crowned with a partially eroded pinnacle of a carving, a heraldic beast holding a cartouche, that is probably another early fragment of medieval masonry. The ground floor is currently (2011) used as a picture framer's shop and workshop, while the upper floors house a Club. {2}
