19, Market Place

No. 19 Market Place is a house that has been converted into a shop. It has origins dating back to the late 15th century, with alterations made in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame with red brick in Flemish bond, a plain tiled roof, and brick coped gables, with a stack located at the rear.

The exterior consists of three storeys plus attics, with a three-bay front that includes a 20th-century shop front. There is a first-floor band and a moulded eaves fascia. To the left, there is a narrow passageway leading to the rear, which features a 15th-century timber post and arch behind the fascia. On the first floor, there is a central plain sash window from the 19th century, flanked by two 19th-century single canted bay windows with panelled bases, moulded cornices, flat lead roofs, and plain sashes. The first-floor band runs along the heads of these windows. The second floor has three plain sashes with segmental arches and keystones. In the roof, there are two plain sash dormers with lead segmental heads.

On the north gable wall, exposed at the first-floor level, is 15th-century timber framing. The second floor features a 15th-century king post roof truss, with a later 17th-century roof truss above, both preserved in the gable wall. The ground floor shop area is now continuous with the adjacent No. 20. The interior has not been inspected.
