Description
This property, consisting of numbers 8, 8A and 10 Market Place, is a house, now used as two shops. It dates from the late 16th and 17th centuries. The building is timber-framed with rendered panels and an old tile roof. It originally comprised two framed bays, with a cross wing added to the right and a gabled wing at the rear to the left, also dating to the 17th century.
The first floor is jettied, supported by a moulded bressumer and two brackets featuring carved heads. The right-hand bay has a later under-building and a jettied gable above, featuring a moulded cambered tie beam, carved brackets, and an exposed queen post truss. A stack is located at the rear of the cross wing.
The ground floor has three 20th-century shopfronts: two small-paned windows and a half-glazed door to the right, and three small-paned 20th-century shop windows with boarded doors to the left.
