Saffron Walden - Sun Inn (former), Church Street from NE 2015-10-04 (75)

From left to right, 17 Market Hill and 31-25 Church Street, all of which formed the Sun Inn between the mid-C17 and c.1870. 17 Market Hill comprises the first two gables (the nearer one is of C16 origin; the next one was the service wing of the C14 house, the remainder of which now forms 29 and 31 Church Street; both sections received pargetted plasterwork in the C17, perhaps at the time that the inn was formed, but were extensively restored in the C19); 29 and 31 Church Street comprise the two small gables and the next jettied gable (the hall and solar cross-wing of a house of C14 origin, altered in C16, decorated with pargetted plasterwork [some of which is dated 1676], and extensively restored in 1871 when owned by G. S. Gibson, a member of a Quaker family prominent in the town - according to the listing, "all windows and doorways [were] either remade or heavily restored in Tudor style"); the remaining two jettied gables are on 25 and 27 Church Street (see here for more information).
