RW9, MW14 Crutched Friars, No. I (Roman Wall House), 1905
On the sites of Nos. 18-20 Jewry Street and No. 1 Crutched
Friars, a length of about 40 ft. of the inner face of the wall was
revealed, standing to a maximum height of 8-9 ft., with the
base 8 1/2 ft. below the present ground level. Above the usual
triple levelling-course of brick were four courses of squared
ragstone, a triple bonding-course, six courses of squared
ragstone and a double bonding-course with the usual offsets. A
considerable portion of this fragment has been preserved in the
cellar of the modern building. (See Pl. 41.)
