What is recorded here

This black commemorative plaque records: Kirby House. Built circa 1700. Now one of two surviving examples of one of the fine town houses for gentry which used to line Little Park Street. Built partly over the "Red Ditch", a Saxon defensive earthwork. Settlement and structural damage required extensive building work in 1983-4.
