11, Banbury Lane

No. 11 Banbury Lane is a house that was formerly two cottages, dating from the late 16th to 17th century. It is likely cruck-framed and constructed from squared stone with quoins and stone dressings that include pieces of carving, possibly of ecclesiastical origin. The roof is a combination of thatch and Welsh slate, featuring two brick ridge stacks and a stack at the right end. The gables of the wing are coped with stone.

The facade, which faces the rear, consists of two ranges. The right range has a thatched roof and is 1½ storeys high, with three casement windows: a three-light window on the left, a doorway with a moulded stone frame and a four-centred arch, and two two-light windows. The first floor includes a three-light eyebrow dormer, a small two-light window above the door, another two-light eyebrow dormer, and a centre-opening three-light window.

The left range is 2½ storeys tall and features a stone mullion window with a hood mould, consisting of a three-light window with a two-light window above it, and a blocked two-light window in the attic. There are head stops on either side of the first-floor hood mould. The left end has a three-light casement window on both floors, each within a moulded stone frame with a hood mould, and the first floor also has head stops.

On the rear gable, which faces down Banbury Lane, there is a three-light window on both floors. The ground floor features a casement window beneath a reused moulded stone lintel with a four-centred arch and hood mould. The first floor has a stone mullion window with a hood mould. Above this, in the gable, there is a blank panel with a moulded frame and hood mould, a gabled niche or blocked light above, and a large octagonal finial. A scratch dial is incorporated into the right quoin. The building is said to be partly cruck framed.
