Clifton House, 17 Queen Street, King's Lynn, Norfolk (1708)
Clifton House, 17 Queen Street, King's Lynn, was originally two hall houses dating back to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The elevation to Queen Street was refronted in 1708 (the date is on a rainwater hopper). The windows have sashes under gauged skewback arches. The wooden doorcase is recessed with two barley-twist columns in antis and modified Corinthean capitals. There is a flat hood with guttae carrying a segmental pediment. Is this doorcase earlier in date and retained when the front was remade in 1708?
