Description
Canonry House is a Grade I listed building located in the precincts of Peterborough, dating back to the 1500s. The structure features an 18th-century front elevation but has a medieval core. The building stands two storeys high and has three windows with moulded ashlar architraves, double hung sashes with glazing bars, and a parapet. The roof is made of stone slate, and there are two brick chimneys at the gable ends.
To the left, the building was originally the Infirmarer's Lodging, constructed in the late 13th century. It is made of stone and also has a stone slate roof, with one brick chimney. Its windows consist of two pointed trefoiled lights with trefoil or quatrefoil in plate tracery, separated by polygonal shafts. The doorways are segmental arched and moulded. Canonry House, along with the Deanery, the wall, Table House, the Infirmary, and Nos 16 to 18 (consecutive) and No 20, form a cohesive group.
