The building acquired the name "Curson Lodge" during this restoration because it was part of a complex of buildings comprising the mansion of Robert Curson, a Tudor courtier.[2] The rest of the mansion extended along the other side of Silent Street and Saint Peter Street as far down as Rose Lane.[2] Curson Lodge is composed of 3 buildings which were listed at different times: 1 Silent Street, also 47 St Nicholas Street (No. 1265084),[3] 3–9 Silent Street (No. 1235576),[4] both listed on 19 December 1951, and 45 and 45a St Nicholas Street (No. 1235464),[5] listed on 4 August 1972.
