Description
The Minories is an early 16th-century timber-framed building that was remodeled in the later 18th century for Thomas Boggis, a baymaker. The main block features a red brick front with coping and two hipped gables behind it, with tiled roofs. It stands three storeys high and has a five-window range of double-hung sashes with glazing bars. Above the central Doric porch is a two-storeyed bay window, and there is a modillioned cornice below the third storey, along with a band between the ground and first floors. The arched doorway has a semi-circular fanlight and a six-panel door.
The garden elevation is also made of red brick and has a plastered parapet, a moulded brick cornice, and a three-window range on the upper storey, with the central window being Venetian. The ground floor has five windows, a band, and brick quoins at the corners. The rear wing has undergone significant external alterations and has a hipped roof on the south side. Inside this wing, there is a staircase from around 1600 with carved square newels. The main block's interior features contemporary work, including exposed moulded ceiling beams and many late 18th-century elements, particularly a fine open-string staircase from around 1774. Additionally, there are 16th-century brick cellars with several arched recesses.
Nos 67 to 75 (consecutive) and No 1 Queen Street form a group.
