NOTES: Many of these houses were erected soon after the fire of March 1507 which ravaged the original medieval buildings of this quarter near the cathedral. This once prosperous quarter declined into slums in the 19th century and its demolition was considered in the 1920s. However, the area was restored by the Norwich Society from 1927 to become the most picturesque part of the town.
