Context Title: Room 3     
Context Name (Publication): Room 31     
Context Description: Room 3 was also earth-floored; the wall dividing it from Room 2 had been much destroyed by a late drain; the SE wall was built abutting on a shallow buttress or jamb projecting from the chapel wall of No. 4 Paternoster Row, but owing to rebuilding the evidence of date was difficult to follow (Fig. 42); the buttress belonged only to a late phase of the chapel wall, but the wall of the Bazaar Alley building while only abutting on it yet went below it and abutted equally on the face of the older section of the chapel wall where there was no buttress and itself seemed to be all of one date. Perhaps it only means that the builders of the Bazaar building were unusually careful about their foundations and dug below the reconstruction-level of the chapel and fitted their new work to whatever they found there.2
