Original building erected 1545 - 1589 by Vincent Enghame and Another. The rear elevation was cased in brick 1826. The front after various alterations was restored to its original design in 1886. The entire building was reconstructed in 1937, the old front being retained.
The building was also restored after World War II damage. There can't be much of the original left.
