1 And 3, Church Lane

Nos 1 and 3 Church Lane is a house, now serving as a house and shop, built around 1700 with later alterations. The building is constructed of red brick, with the front rendered and designed to imitate ashlar. It has a pantile roof and is situated at a street corner. The layout features a two-room central-entrance east front with a rear outshut; originally, it had a one-shaped plan, but a wing to the rear left was demolished in the 20th century.

The building stands two storeys high and has three first-floor windows. The plinth is visible, and at No 3, there is a central recessed 20th-century half-glazed door with a three-pane overlight. To the right, there is a 19th-century flat-roofed canted bay window with plate-glass sashes and engaged shafts that support an entablature with a modillioned cornice. To the left, at No 1, there is a 20th-century shop front featuring a door and a three-light window beneath a timber lintel, along with a 19th-century plate-glass sash window in an 18th-century flush wooden architrave. The first-floor windows are also plate-glass sashes set in 18th-century flush wooden architraves. The eaves are corbelled, and the roof is hipped to the left.

The left elevation, which faces High Street, has a moulded brick plinth, a central blocked ground-floor opening, and a projecting single-flue stack supported on an ashlar corbel at mid-ground-floor level. The moulded brick corbelled eaves cornice adds to the architectural detail. The rear of the building shows traces of possible infilled timber framing. The interior has not been investigated.
