22, ST ANN STREET (See details for further address information)

No 22, located on St Ann Street, is a building with origins dating back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th and 17th centuries, and further modifications in the 18th century. It is a two-storey structure with an attic, featuring a front made of mathematical tiles, a moulded and bracketed eaves cornice, and an old tiled roof. The façade includes six windows and a central angular bay window, all with architrave frames on the first floor. The ground floor has a three-bay central doorway with a six-panel door, flanked by three-panel sides, which are divided and framed with panelled pilasters, scroll brackets, and a small cornice beneath the bay window. Originally, there were three windows on each side of the door, but now there are two on the right side, which includes a six-panel secondary door, and one on the left side, which leads to a garage and a secondary door. There are also two 19th-century dormers with bargeboards on the gables.

At the rear, a courtyard is enclosed by wings. The west wing, facing The Friary, is two storeys tall and features tile hanging on a timber frame, with flint and brick former external chimneys now flush with the wall and three flush-framed sash windows. The ground floor is screened by a length of old flint walling, which is believed to be remnants of the Greyfriars convent. The inner front of the wing facing the courtyard has studded timber framing. The rear elevation of the street block is tile hung and brick, with two storeys of early 19th-century and 18th-century sash windows, and a coved cornice over the brick section.

Inside, the north street range has a four-bay 17th-century roof with purlins and principals. The hall roof, which dates from the 15th century, features a former open hall design with a centre truss, arched braces to the collar, and hammer beams with hammer posts and cross braces. The plaster ceiling is from around 1630. The east range facing the courtyard has a roof supported by four trusses, collars, two Queen struts, clasped purlins, and wind braces. The west range roof is from the 15th century, with clasped purlins, a cambered collar, wind braces, and one open truss with hammer beams. There are also two four-centred arched stone fireplaces. At the rear of No 26, there is a notable 16th or 17th-century staircase with giant-shaped newels leading to the ceiling.

Nos 22, 26, and 26A form a group with Friary Court and Craddock House, The Friary.
