More information : [TF 03030698] Twelth century arch, probably re-set. Norman arch,
St Mary's Hill, Stamford, scheduled. (1-2)
This Norman arch is believed to be one of the postern gates of the town wall (a). The arch appears to be re-set in a later wall. (3)
(TF 03030699) No 10 St. Mary's Hill incorporates at one side of the street front a 12th century doorway of 2 orders, the inner roll-moulded, the outer zig-zag, with rebated inner jamb.
(see illustration card.) (4)
(TF 03030700) No 11 St. Mary's Street incorporates the remains of
a Norman house, named the Packhorse Arch, which leads to St. Mary's
Passage. This arch of circa 1150 has a zig-zag at right angles to
the wall surface, and is the doorway of the house. (5)
(There is some confusion as to the exact siting of the Norman arch.
Authority 1 gives a grid reference corresponding to an archway
between Nos 9 and 9a St. Mary's Hill. Authority 4 quotes a 12th
century arch belonging to No 10, and Authority 5 quotes an arch of
circa 1150 belonging to No 11). (5)
1:1250 survey found correct. The arch is as described. The arch lies between Nos 10 and 11 St Mary's Hill at TF 0303606998. (6)
