Description
No 30 on Kneesworth Street is a 17th-century building that was altered in the late 18th century. It is a continuation of No 28 and features a front that is covered in plaster, likely hiding a timber frame. The building has an old tiled roof with two box dormers and a coved cornice. It stands two storeys tall with attics and has quoins at the south end of the front. There are two flush three-light sash windows with glazing bars and a six-panelled door, which includes two glazed panels and four fielded panels. This door is framed by reeded Doric pilasters beneath an entablature with a mutule cornice. Notably, this building is located on the site of a coachhouse that belonged to King James I and the Prince of Wales. No 30 is part of a group that includes Nos 28 to 36 (even), the yard wall to No 36, and No 36A, along with the former United Reformed Church and Nos 1 and 3 Lower King Street.
