117, High Street

117 High Street is a two-storey building with earlier origins that was altered in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from coursed stone and features two windows with lintels on the first floor and one on the ground floor. The doorway, also altered in the mid-19th century, has stone pilasters and a cornice that curves up to a human gothic mask, which has been brought from elsewhere, positioned below the cill of the first-floor window. The door consists of four panels. To the right, there is a penticed section with a door below a window, which is surmounted by another human gothic mask and a section of coping. A plaque on the building reads: "A Drunkard's Reform. A working man a teetotaller for 10 years, who was formerly a notorious drinker and a notorious poacher has recently invested his sober earnings in the purchase of the town prison, which he has converted into a comfortable dwelling house. Frequently an inmate of the prison whilst a drunkard and a poacher, he is now owner of the whole and occupier of the premises. Thomas Handford AD 1854."
