8 Gilesgate

No 8 Gilesgate is a building dating from around 1761, with later alterations. It stands three storeys tall with a basement and features six unevenly spaced windows. The structure is made of brick, accented with stone quoins, an eaves course, a plinth, and an arched entrance leading to the rear yard (No 8A). The windows have 19th-century stone architraves, and there is a columned, arched entrance to the house. The roof is slate and slightly tented, with a small kneeler on the left side, and there are brick chimneys. The main entrance is highlighted by a semi-circular canopy supported by Doric columns and features a five-panel door.

At the rear, the building is stone-built with a two-storey brick extension, and there is a tall semi-circular headed staircase window. Notably, there is a Sun Fire Insurance Mark in the center of the front, below the second floor, indicating a policy dated September 7, 1761, taken out by the Reverend William Totton, Rector of Hexham.

No 8 Gilesgate is part of a group with Hexham House and Nos 2 to 8 (even), along with the wall to the Bowling Green.
