19, Guildhall Street

This is a late 15th-century shop and flat, significantly altered in later centuries. It is located on Guildhall Street, Thetford. The front of the building has a colourwashed brick facade, while the rear is faced with flint and brick. The front has a pantile roof with black glazing. The building is three storeys and three bays wide. A 20th-century shop front extends across the entire facade, topped with a prominent fascia board. The first floor has three recessed 6/6 sash windows, and the second floor has three 3/3 sash windows. A dentil eaves cornice sits above, and the roof is gabled. A shared gable-end stack is located on the south side, shared with number 21. The north gable has a wall constructed from breeze blocks, following the demolition of adjacent buildings in the late 20th century. A gault brick gable head is on the south side. At the rear, there are two later, narrow outshuts, one built onto the other, with mixed window styles. A two-storey cross wing projects east from the south end, also under a pantile roof. This wing is constructed of rendered brick, clunch, and flint, with a one-bay hipped extension at the east end of the same materials but without render, and covered with a corrugated asbestos roof. The east window of this extension has a 4-light 18th-century metal casement with multiple panes. The north side of the cross wing has a ground floor made of breeze blocks and two first-floor sash windows with 6/6 glazing bars.

Inside the rear cross wing, a late 15th-century roof features a two-bay crown-post structure, with the central post missing. The posts are rectangular and plain, with arched braces connecting them to the crown purlins, along with collars and rafters. The ground floor of this wing has chamfered cruciform bridging beams with tongue stops. On the ground floor of the main front block, there are cruciform bridging beams elaborately carved with three roll mouldings separated by stylised twig and ribbon mouldings.
