14, Earsham Street

14 Earsham Street is an early 17th-century building, reputed to have been constructed in 1620. It is three stories tall, with a front made of 19th-century Suffolk yellow brick and a low parapet. The roof is covered with pantiles. The first floor features three windows, with only the central window having glazing bars. The entrance has a six-panel door with panelled reveals, enriched consoles, and remnants of an original entablature. There is a mid-19th-century porch with slender columns, an entablature, and cast iron ornamentation.

Inside, there is a panelled room on the right with fluted pilasters and a cornice. In 1933, thirty-five horse skulls were discovered arranged in rows between the joists of the floor in this room, which is said to have been a music room, intended to improve acoustics. The adjoining No. 16 was originally part of this room, and similar skulls were found under the corresponding room on the opposite side of the house. The original staircase and many other features have been lost. The panelled room is currently used as a hairdressing salon. Nos 14 and 16 are among the few buildings that survived the fire of 1688.
