 | No. 11, 11A, 11B Paternoster Row | This was by far the largest house found on the site and part of it at least would seem to have been three storeys high; it was further peculiar in having three separate entrances from Paternoster Row and a fourth at the back from what seems to have been a blind alley. It was not all of one date, as regards its foundation, and it included a virtually independent house of small size (Rooms 16-19) which had once had its own door opening on the street, but as found by us it was undoubtedly a single unit. Owing to its size and complication we gave it the name "The Khan", being unprepared to find a private house with nineteen or more ground-floor rooms; but it must be admitted that the presence at the back of the building of a large domestic chapel with many burials is against such an identification and this may have been merely the home of a wealthier citizen than the others living in the quarter and may be not less typical of its class than are the more modest houses of theirs. The three front doors would appear to have served respectvely the guest, the family and the servants and tradesmen. | (none) |
