More about this scene

Sad to say, many of the timber-framed buildings in St Andrew's Street were demolished in the 1960s. One of the survivors was the Old Verger's House (right), which was restored around 1893; today it holds the showrooms of Beckwith's Antiques. The building, hidden behind the second gable of the Verger's House was restored too. With additions behind, it became St Nicholas Hall.
