Description
Leigh-Pemberton House is a merchant's house, now used as offices, dating from around 1543 and extensively restored in 1929 and 1970. The building features timber framing with arch braces, plastered nogging, a rubble plinth, and a plain tile roof with a brick valley stack. It has two jettied floors supported by brackets on the south and east fronts.
The south front, facing Castle Hill, has a triple gabled design. To the left, there is a late 18th-century bow window with glazing bars, next to a half-glazed door. To the right, a restored two-light fixed window is accompanied by a segment-headed close-boarded door. Above these, on each floor, are three 20th-century leaded casements with two and three lights. The east front, facing Bailgate, consists of two bays and features a close-boarded door flanked by fixed lights with glazing bars. Above, each floor has two leaded casements with two and three lights. The south-east corner of the building has an original post with a carved figure and bracket.
Inside, the house includes jowled posts, some with arch braces, dragon beams, and is known to have crownpost roofs.
