History
The building may have been constructed as the rebuilding of a house which previously stood there, thought to be called the Castle Bakehouse.
22 Bayley Lane was formerly connected to St Mary's Guildhall by a first floor extension.
Architecture
22 Bayley Lane would have been one of a row of cottages of its type when it was built in the early 16th century. Other work from this time of this quality can be found at Ford's Hospital and Bond's Hospital. The chimneys were added to the building in the 17th century and the shop window is early 19th century.
