Description
The remains of Bennett's Hall, a two-storey medieval town house from the 13th century, are partially incorporated into 2-3 Pride Hill. The structure measures approximately 25 meters by 10.8 meters. The standing remains are built from coursed and squared sandstone rubble and consist of a single transverse internal wall with a small section of return walling that survives for two storeys.
The upper part of the wall features archways on either side of a central fireplace. This fireplace has detached shafts with foliate capitals supporting remnants of a stone hood, which has mostly been rebuilt and repaired in timber. To the left of the fireplace is a high chamfered archway above a squared inner arch, which has been renewed. On the right, there is a renewed outer archway leading to an inner doorway, featuring engaged shafts with worn foliate capitals. Below this level, two wide, double-chamfered arches with semi-octagonal responds are present; while the bases remain, the arches themselves have been renewed.
Additionally, a freestanding fragment that was part of the north-west external wall of Bennett's Hall stands about 2.5 meters from the rear elevation of 2-3 Pride Hill. This fragment is also constructed of coursed and squared sandstone rubble and has lead cladding added to the top in the late 20th century to protect it from the weather.
