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).

Part of the Sun Inn between the mid-C17 and c.1870. Originated in the C14 as a house with a central hall and was altered in the C16 and again in the C17, when it received its pargetted plasterwork (perhaps at the time that the inn was created); the upper floor of the further cross-wing was also raised to form a carriageway below; restored c.1870 after acquisition by G.S. Gibson, a member of a Quaker family prominent in the town. Listing: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... .

From right to left, 25-31 Church Street and 17 Market Hill, all of which formed the Sun Inn between the mid-C17 and c.1870. The two gables to the right and section between them (25 and 27 Church Street) originated in the C14 as a house with a central single-storey hall, and were altered, receiving their pargetted plasterwork, in the C17, possibly when the inn was created; the upper floor of the nearer cross-wing was also raised to form a carriageway below. The figures on the nearer gable have been identified as the Wisbech Giant and Tom Hickathrift , or as Gog and Magog . The whole was restored c.1870 when owned by G.S. Gibson, a member of a Quaker family prominent in the town . Listing: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... . For the buildings to the left, see here .
