One of the most important historic buildings in Plymouth city centre is set to be lit up at night.
The city council wants to install five uplighters in the pavement around Prysten House, as part of improvements to mark the Mayflower 400 celebrations.
It is now seeking listed building consent because of the historic importance of the house and neighbouring buildings.
The lighting is part of improvements to the space outside the stone-built structure.
They include a new granite paving design, seating and tree planting.
The former merchant’s house was built around 1498 for Thomas Yogge, and is now home to the Greedy Goose restaurant.
The name Prysten House meaning Priests’ House and comes from its association with nearby St Andrew’s Church.
The building stands between the church and the magistrates’ court off Finewell Street.
It is in the north-west corner of the Barbican Conservation Area and is an important site on the Mayflower Trail.
The building is the farthest from the sea of Plymouth’s surviving merchant’s houses and is in the heart of what was the medieval town above the harbour.
Public consultation is open on the application for listed building consent until Tuesday, July 9.
