Description

The College of Clergy, located at 21 Knight Street in Little Walsingham, is a 17th-century building constructed from painted flint and brick. It features a steep pantile roof with gabled ends and stands two storeys tall. On the first floor, there are three widely spaced 18th and 19th-century two-light casement windows with glazing bars. The ground floor has a large 19th-century four-light wood mullion casement window with glazing bars on the right side, along with two small sash windows without glazing bars. There is a simple boarded door to the right of centre, while a doorway to the left has been blocked. A Royal fire insurance plaque is visible on the front of the building, and there is a rendered brick chimney stack located off centre. Inside, the building features chamfered ceiling beams.
