Description
This is a row of late 18th-century weavers' houses, comprising numbers 16 to 22 Church Street. The houses are constructed of squared sandstone, with brick stacks and roofs of either stone slate (numbers 16-19) or slate (numbers 20-22). They are two storeys tall with attics, and have a plain frieze and continuous stone gutter brackets.
Numbers 16 to 19 are each one bay wide, with a doorway to the right and two-light windows with square mullions on both the ground and first floors, except for number 19 which lacks mullions. A tunnel entrance with a semi-circular head and keystone shares the right-hand jamb of the doorway to numbers 17 and 19. Numbers 20, 21 and 22 are similar in appearance, but have only one light in each window. Numbers 21 and 22 form a pair with their doorways centrally placed and separated by a flat-headed tunnel entrance which shares their jambs.
The windows are modern, with the exception of a fixed small-paned window in the attic of number 19. The attics of numbers 20-22 have blocked windows. A window has been inserted above the last tunnel entrance, and above the tunnel entrance to number 17 is a plaque inscribed 'RHM 1793'.
