Description
No. 17 and the adjacent building to the west, now a wing of Lord Crewe Arms, is a terrace of six houses that was formerly a monastic building, remodeled in the mid-18th century. The structure is mostly built from rubble with stone dressings and features stone slate roofs. It is two storeys high and consists of eight bays.
There are vertical-panelled doors located to the left of bay 1, between bays 2 and 3 (in a raised stone surround), between bays 4 and 5, a pair between bays 6 and 7, and between bays 7 and 8. The building has various sash windows, some of which have been renewed, most of which are set in hollow-chamfered surrounds, with some dating from the 19th century and others from earlier periods that have been re-set. The windows in bay 8 are framed in 18th-century block surrounds.
On the first floor of bays 4 and 5, there are remains of a range of three large windows with double hollow-chamfered jambs. The roof has five ridge stacks, one of which has been rebuilt in brick, and the roof is hipped to the left. The left return of the building shows two small windows, the lower one featuring glazing bars, both set in 18th-century stone surrounds. The rear elevation has an old projecting stack and, at the far right, a blocked two-light window with an ovolo-moulded surround.
The interior has been much altered. No. 17 contains a 17th-century ground floor fireplace with a flat-pointed head in a square frame, while a larger arched fireplace on the floor above is now covered over. The terrace is believed to be the monastic south range, which has been significantly remodeled; traditionally, this area would have included the frater at first floor level, and the remains of large 15th-century windows on the south suggest that an important apartment was located here.
