"The Rush Market, where rushes were sold, was held at the Red Well; a red pump as a sign on a house in Palace Street still indicates the locality. The demand for rushes arose from the almost universal practice of strewing them upon the floors of houses before the use of carpets became general."

CONQUEST HOUSE

1170 was the home of Gilbert the Citizen
Has been a tailor's shop in the 1860's, a grocer's in the early 1880's, a furniture dealers, and in 1917 an antique shop.
This is likely the house where the four Knight's who killed Thomas Beckett were before they entered the grounds of the Cathedral, through the Archbishop's Palace entrance across the way; Hugh de Moreville, Reginald Fitzurse, Richard le Bret and William de Tracy
Conquest House has been renovated on the outside (as was pointed out to me), as now the third storey is also timber and plaster, which used to be mathematical tiles.
It is said that above the first floor fireplace is the coat of arms of Charles I.
As well the house boasts a Norman undercroft.

WTHBH - Sept 14, 1872 - Fire in Palace Street - A fire, which had it not been for the timely discovery might have proved a serious conflagration, broke out on the premises of Mr. Delehaye, foreign egg merchant, Palace street on the evening of Monday last. Mr. Delehaye left the shop safe a little before eight o'clock, and had not been absent many minutes when he received an alarm that his shop was in flames. It seemed that they had been seen from the outside of the premises by some neighbouring tradesmen, who immediately took steps to extinguish the fire, which was then devouring the contents of the shop, which being of a very inflammable nature soon succumbed to the flames. The exertions of those who rendered their assistance, however, being successful, the fire was confined to the shop, where it did much damage to the walls and the fittings, besides destroying a large quantity of eggs. The loss of about £60 or £70 falls upon the Globe Office, in which the occupier was insured. The origin of the fire is attributed to the ignition of a match on the floor of the shop, which set alight to the straw. Considering that these buildings are very old, and that there are some oil stores not far off, it is fortunate that the fire did not spread.

*Monday 28th September 1857. Called on Mr. Charles Nicholas Miette, who with his brother Matthew Trocqueme Miette, purchased the last of the Lefroy property in Canterbury in 1809, a fine old man of 84. He informs me that he and his brother are, he believes the last who carried on silk weaving in Canterbury. It was succeeded by worsted spinning, of which a little has survived to this day. He shewed me his abstract of title from which took the folllowing note.... There was a good deal more Lefroy property purchased by others, and Mr. Miette is under the impression that the family residence was a house opposite All Saints' Church in High Street, now belonging to Mr. George Neame.
Certain houses in Cock Lane,
Canterbury, which, with those in St Mary, Northgate, were inherited
by Anthony Lefroy from his father Thomas, 1723, one-sixth share of
these
remained in the family down to 1835, when it was sold to Charles Nicholas
