The medieval undercroft at 19–21 Bedford Street, Norfolk is a vaulted stone chamber of thirteenth-century date that survives beneath the street frontage in the historic town centre. The structure demonstrates the characteristic ribbed vaulting typical of high medieval construction and represents the substantial stone architecture that once formed part of the ground floors of important mercantile or residential properties. The undercroft's survival, preserved beneath later street-level development, provides evidence of the prosperous urban occupation and building practices of medieval Norfolk. The monument is listed on the National Heritage List as an important archaeological record of the town's medieval commercial and domestic life.
