Context Title: No. 3 Store Street     
Context Name (Publication): No. 3 Store Street1     
Context Description: The building was a peculiar one; its frontage consisted of two lengths of wall running at a slight angle to one another and independently built, but the two were apparently connected; the arrangement of the inner rooms was unusual and the character of the building was unlike that of any other excavated by us. The front door was in the northern section of the street wall; its north jamb had been ruined away but the south jamb was preserved and was comparatively pretentious in that it had on the outside a reveal rising from a corner block of three courses of brickwork (Fig. 38); the only parallel to this was the "Bazaar Chapel" in Paternoster Row. The floor of the house lay 0.50 m. below the level of that of No. 1, but even so it was high and implied a fairly late date for the building .2
