Description
28 and 29 Church Street are shops and dwellings dating from the late 18th century. They are constructed of stucco with a slate roof at the front and plain tiles at the rear, featuring rendered brick end stacks on the right. The building has an E-shaped plan and consists of three storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with a four-window range. On the left, there are two late 19th-century, 2/2 sash windows, while the right side has mid-19th-century, margin-glazed 4/4 sashes. The windows have moulded stucco architraves with consoles at the sills, and the eaves are adorned with brick modillions.
The central entrance leads to a passageway towards Leicester Place, featuring a 20th-century wrought-iron grille and a beaded door frame under a segmental arch. There are two 19th-century shop fronts with central 20th-century doors and overlights (margin-glazed on the right), flanked by plate glass windows with moulded glazing shafts, and topped with moulded fascia boards and hoods on plain pilasters. The returned sides are also stuccoed and include lights on the second floors and attics.
Inside No. 28, there is an 18th-century open-well staircase with a moulded rail and turned balusters leading to the second floor. The first floor features an 18th-century cabinet and cupboard, a late 18th-century bolection moulded fire surround with a 19th-century grate, and two 18th-century, seven-panel doors leading to wall cupboards. The cellar is stone-lined with substantial masonry at the stack bases and has a raised moulded beam.
In No. 29, there is also an 18th-century open-well staircase with turned balusters to the second floor. The first floor includes a 19th-century fireplace and overmantel, 19th-century wall cupboards, a two-panel door, an 18th-century two-panel door, and a four-panel door. The ground floor has a 19th-century fire surround, a rear plank door, and a late 19th-century fireplace and overmantel. The cellar features massive masonry at the stack base, is stone and brick-lined, and has 17th-century chamfered ceiling beams and a fireplace. A plaque commemorates Roger Kemble, the father of John Philip Kemble and Sarah Siddons.
