Another surviving 12thC building in Lincoln is the Jew's House, built c. 1170 with a first floor hall (my pic)pic.twitter.com/y51TAshyCH
Once owned by Belaset, daughter of Solomon of Wallingford in 13thC; she was hanged in 1290.. http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=326716&sort=4&search=all&criteria=bow%20stone&rational=q&recordsperpage=10&p=4&move=n&nor=71&recfc=0 …pic.twitter.com/S818OUks8b
Wow, hanged for coin clipping! Coins were serious business...
So it would seem... or seen as a useful excuse? :-/

Was here a couple days ago, and very puzzled as to why such a high-status building was so far from the walls - thanks for the info!
My pleasure! :)
