Tetuan is situated in the middle of a belt of orchards that contain orange, almond, pomegranate and cypress trees. The Rif Mountains are nearby, as the city is located in the Martil Valley. It is picturesquely situated on the northern slope of a fertile valley down which flows the Martil river, with the harbour of Tetouan, Martil, at its mouth.

Robert Cutt purchased the property from John Osborne, esquire, Treasurer's Remembrancer in the Exchequer, and was still dwelling there in 1602. At his death in 1610 Cutt left his dwelling house in Cheapside to his son Henry Cutt for a term of 21 years rent-free after the death of his wife Anne, who died in 1612. The house was inhabited in 1612 by Mrs. Agnes Cutt, who may have been Henry's widow. The property was later in the possession of Robert's son, William Cutt, citizen and goldsmith, who in 1618 leased it to James Foote and Nicholas Homewood for a term of 15 years at a rent of £6. 13s. and for a sum of £1063. 6s. 8d. payable in annual instalments of £73. 6s. 8d. (the sum would thus be paid in 14 1/2 years). Homewood and Foote were assessed jointly for parish contributions between 1619 and 1624 and perhaps shared the house between them. Homewood was dwelling in the house in 1624, when William Cutt sold the messuage formerly known as the Crown and now known as the Frying Pan '''with its shops, cellars, chambers, rooms, yards, warehouses, and garrets''' to Thomas Stead, citizen and girdler, for £980. Homewood, an ironmonger whose name is also given as Honiwood, died in 1633-4, when he may still have lived in this house; he left his leases to his son Nicholas Honywood, a minor. Excepted from the grant of 1624 was a cellar measuring 19 ft. (5.79 m.) in length towards the N. from the street and 12 ft. 7 in. (3.84 m.) in breadth; it lay beneath a shop occupied with the house to the E. (105/14-15). Included in the grant were the garrets formerly part of 95/1 and lying over the room in 105/13 called the 'Brushing Chamber', with the stool serving the house of office there; the landlords of 105/13 and 95/1 were each to be allowed access to the other's property for carrying out repairs. In 1638 this house, valued at £24 a year, was inhabited by Mr. Brome. (fn. 22) Thomas Stead died in 1641-2, leaving the Frying Pan to his son, John Stead, later known as John Stead, gentleman. The property was inherited by John's daughter, Mary Stead of Teddington (Middx.), spinster, who in 1669 sold the toft where the Frying Pan had stood before the Great Fire to '''Thomas Canham of London, merchant'''. At the time of the Fire the messuage had been occupied by one Broome, presumably the Mrs. Katharine Broome who had a house of 6 hearths here in 1662-3 and 1666. It was proposed to take part of the site for the new street of King Street, and later in 1669 '''Canham and his wife Mary (who was identical with Mary Stead)''' sold the toft to a group of feoffees acting on behalf of the Corporation of London. The plan accompanying this deed records the boundaries both of the whole property and of the strip of ground to be laid into King Street.22 These boundaries have been adopted in the reconstruction, although another survey of about the same date shows a slightly different arrangement of the boundary between 105/13 and 95/1. (fn. 23) '''105/14''' In 1602 this house was occupied by Mr. Marshall, who was probably the Richard Marshall, painter-stainer, named in 1624 as a former tenant. The Mrs. Marshall dwelling there in 1612 was presumably his widow. The property may have been rebuilt in 1615 (see 95/15). Between 1619 and 1624 Thomas Reeve appears in parish assessment lists in the position suitable for the occupant of this property. In 1619 Edmund Chapman may have shared the property with him. In 1624, when the house included a shop once part of 13 (q.v.) and possibly the cellar beneath the shop, the property had formerly been known as the Brush and was now known as the Queen's Head and was held, presumably from John Osborne, by one Foster. In 1638 the house, occupied by Mr. Sheaphard, was valued at £38 a year. (fn. 24) Osborne's property had passed to Theophilus Biddulph by 1646, when Biddulph began to pay the Corporation 4s. rent for 2 stalls or bulks on each side of his shop in Cheapside next to Ironmonger Lane which had presumably been erected on the street. Biddulph last paid this rent for the year 1667-8; he was probably living in a house on the site of 105/14-15 and 95/1 in 1654 and 1659, but by 1662-3 had been succeeded as resident by Peter Birkenhead (see below, 105/15). The rebuilding of the property after the Great Fire was undertaken for George FitzJefrey, for whom a foundation was surveyed on the corner of Cheapside and Ironmonger Lane. A strip of ground 3 ft. 4 in. (1.02 m.) wide by Cheapside and 2 ft. 6 in. (762 mm.) wide at the N. end was cut off in order to enlarge the lane. The foundation was shown to adjoin '''Canham's property''' (105/13) to the W., but evidently included structures fronting on to King Street and occupying the greater part of what remained of '''Canham's property''' after the street was laid out. From another survey it seems that the S.W. part of this property was immediately before the Fire in the tenure of Mr. Knight, evidently the John Knight who in 1666 occupied a house of 6 hearths here. In 1662-3 this house may have been represented by a house of 2 hear  +
