Dates from about the mid fourteenth century. It is thought to have been originally constructed as a plain arch leading to Whitefriars Monastery and that, when John Hales took over the buildings after the dissolution of the monastery, he had a second wall built parallel to the arch and a room slung between the two. This has been deduced from the projection of the timber-framed upper room into the upper part of the arch and the fact that there are no stone side walls.

The recent preservation of the three houses, 35-37 Much Park Street, that form this building owes much to Ron Morgan who lived in the building for 45 years and opened a toy museum here in 1970 displaying his collection of toys dating from 1740. He died in 2007.
