33,34, Market Place

Nos. 33 and 34 Market Place are two shops that were originally a house, likely with shops facing the Market Place. They date from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with a later 17th-century rear wing added to No. 34. The buildings have been significantly altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. They are timber-framed, rendered, and partly weather-boarded, topped with Welsh slate roofs. The structure follows a hall and crosswing plan on a very small scale, with No. 33 on the left as the crosswing.

Both buildings are one and a half storeys high and consist of two bays. No. 33 features a gabled roof with barge-boarded projected verges and has a 19th-century shop front that includes a recessed doorway on the left and a two-tier window on the right. The upper half of the window has slender turned shafts and delicate arched glazing bars and scrolls, all topped by a fascia board. Above this, there is a window with three small square lights featuring coloured leaded glazing. The facade of No. 34 is from the late 20th century.

Inside No. 33, the wing retains two full bays of framing and part of a third. It includes a roof truss with an ovolo-moulded tie-beam and principals that are morticed and pegged at the apex, along with front wall framing featuring principals and a yoke, and side walls with mortices in the wall-plate for studs and braces. No. 34 has a king-post roof truss with a large cambered tie-beam, queen struts, and a square-set ridge piece, with the upper parts visible from No. 33. It also contains another ovolo-moulded beam and a rear wing with parts of a large principal-rafter roof truss and purlins of large scantling.
