11, Friargate

No. 11 Friargate is a small town house that has been converted into a shop. It likely dates from the mid-18th century and has undergone alterations. The building is constructed of brick, which is now rendered at the front, while the rear has been rebuilt and features a slate roof. It has a double-depth, single-fronted layout with three low storeys and an attic. The facade has one window, a second-floor band, a plain frieze, and a shallow moulded gutter cornice. The ground floor has a modern shop front, while the upper floors each contain one centrally located sashed window. Both windows have 12 panes, but the upper window has 8 panes in the lower leaf and 4 in the upper leaf. The rear wall has been rebuilt and includes various additions at the ground floor.

Inside, the upper floors feature 18th-century fielded panelling in the front room on the first floor, which is mostly intact except for areas below the dado rail on the rear wall and in the alcove to the right of the chimney breast. The upper flights of an open-string staircase have scrolled brackets, columnar newels, turned balusters (some of which are missing), and a ramped moulded handrail. Fielded panel doors are present, and the attic has a clay floor. The principal-rafter roof truss is halved and pegged at the apex, with one pair of purlins and original common rafters. This building is one of only two 18th-century domestic interiors known to have survived in the center of the town, the other being Nos. 29-31 Church Street.
