Considered to be the oldest building in Daventry town centre, it was originally built as a merchant's house in the 15th Century. The survival of so much of the structure of a 15th century building in an urban setting contributes greatly to the building's special architectural and historic interest and its significance as a heritage asset. Leigh's Bakery opened in this premises in 1836 and remained in the same family until after WWII. It has been much restored and modernised over the centuries since its original construction.
