HISTORY
1649
The earliest evidence of any building at No.33 appears
to date back to around the 14th century,
when Nos. 26 & 34 seem to have been built.
However, it was rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century,
which gave it the general appearance that it still has today,
aside from the street front, most of which was a later addition.
Despite this, some parts of wall and the central stack still
survive from the earlier house. In 1649, a parliamentary
survey was conducted and No.33 appears to have belonged
to a Mr Brittayne at the time. It then comprised of shop
with a kitchen and cellar, lodging chambers upstairs
and a small stable with hayloft at the back.
Later in 1731, the house was occupied by a Dr Peter Richier,
who owned many properties in the surrounding area but
decided to live in this one with his maid and manservant.
Other occupants around this time seem to have included
a cordwainer, baker, woollen draper, orange merchant,
watchmaker, bridle cutter and grocer.
In the 18th century No.33 became a pub
called the Fox and Hounds.
1925
In 1925 the building was occupied by Lawrence of Arabia
whilst he was serving at RAF Cranwell.
It was around this time that he wrote his infamous book,
‘The Seven Pillars of Wisdom’. From 1928 to 1937
the building became a boarding house owned by a,
Mrs Dugdale and afterwards until 1946, a bookshop
owned by a, Mrs Hopwell. Then from 1949 until 1971
it belonged to a Mr Charles Hopwell, who during
this time turned it into an antique dealership,
a second hand gift shop and eventually his private residence.
1987
In 1972 it became a Toy Shop, owned by a Mr John Phillip
however; by 1975 it appears to have been empty.
Not long after it returned to being an Antique Furniture
shop belonging to a Mr Alf Shaw, who remained there
until 1987, when it was bought by McFarlane & Mason
and turned into Browns Pie Shop.
