High Street (east), No. 123 (House of Simon)

A late medieval double-jettied building, whose timber frame is exposed at first-floor level. In the 16th century this was yet another house owned by Simon Wisdom, who was evidently responsible for its remodelling. In the 19th century it was variously occupied by a bank agent, saddlers, farmers, and building workers. In 2006 it was a clothing shop called House of Simon.
