Between 1471 and 1473 it is recorded as belonging to the Langley family and hence was also known as known as Langley's House or Inn.
It is described as lying between the prior's tenement called Le Crown and the draper John Ruyton's tenement, extending from the street to Giles Sowtham's Little Park Street land. In 1473 the Leet book said that the inn was "in ruins (and) there will be murder if it fall(s); the possessors of the same are to be fined". | |||
