More about this scene
The Dog and Partridge (centre left) looks much as it does today. To the left of the pub is the site of the house where Abbot John Reeve lived from the closure of the abbey in November 1539 until his death in April 1540. The three houses to the right of the pub show the variety of styles and materials in the street. One is early 19th-century, built in white Woolpit or Culford brick, with a doorway with Doric columns (the house opposite has a porch with similar columns); next is a 17th-century timber-framed building with a jetty and dormer windows; the third is a building re-fronted to disguise the jetty and to appear Georgian, with a classical door case.
