9, Minster Yard

No. 9 Minster Yard is a house dating from around 1771, which incorporates part of a late 17th-century house. It was built by Thomas Mainwaring and has had additions made in the mid-19th century, along with alterations in 1878. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features a plain tile roof with a single ridge and gable stacks, including one stone-coped gable.

The house is two storeys high plus attics and consists of four bays. The windows are glazing bar sashes with segmental rubbed brick heads. On the front, to the right, there is a reeded wooden doorcase with a pediment and a part-glazed panelled door that has a moulded half-round fanlight. To the left of the door, there is a late 19th-century hipped projection in front of the former carriage entrance, which has a single window. Further to the left are two additional windows, and above these, there are four more windows. At the top, there are two segment-headed dormers. The interior has not been inspected.
