Description

The Stone Arches in Tower Gardens, located on the south side of St James' Street in King's Lynn, are a line of three arches that were removed in the early 20th century from the ruins of a house west of Tuesday Market Place. These arches date back to the 14th century and feature whole flints on the northern side, with brick and carstone on the southern side, along with ashlar dressings. The arches are hollow-chamfered and have an outer wave moulding. They are reputed to originate from a demolished 14th-century house in Tuesday Market Place.
