It is named after the shoemaker Richard Brown, who was the next door tenant in 1553[3] In the 19th century it was known as The Dean's Eye.
It is a two-storey archway of Doulting ashlar stone, with a Welsh slate roof with coped gables behind parapets.[4] The arch has a ribbed vault.[2] There is a doorway within the porch to a staircase to the first floor.[1]
