Description
1 and 2 Church Street are two adjoining houses, one building, located next to the "Old School" on the east side. They date from the 16th century, with a front added in the middle of the 18th century. The building is two stories tall with attics and features a stone slate roof, rusticated quoins, and a moulded stone band between the storeys. It has a moulded cornice with a pediment, seven windows with moulded architraves and keystones, and hung sashes with glazing bars. The central doorway is framed by moulded architraves, panelled pilasters, scroll brackets, a cornice, and a pediment. A window on the west side has been converted into a second doorway.
Inside No. 2, the ground floor room is lined with early 17th-century panelling. The first-floor room features an early 17th-century wall painting with masonic and architectural grisaille, which overlays a late 16th-century design that is now mostly obscured. The fireplace decoration is the only remnant of what was once a fully painted room. The wide fireplace was originally painted brick but is now partly filled in and colour washed. The easterly first-floor room has a moulded stone jamb from an early fireplace, which is now covered with plaster and has been altered to fit a modern firegrate.
In No. 1, the interior includes panelled rooms from the late 17th and early 18th centuries on the south side, and middle 18th-century rooms on the north side. The ground floor north room contains a notable middle 18th-century fireplace that came from a house of that period in Boston. The first-floor room has an original fireplace dating from around 1760.
