Description
Nos. 5 and 6, Queen Street, Much Wenlock, are a range of buildings dating probably to the 15th century, and thought to be the oldest timber-framed building in the town. No. 6 has a roughcast finish to its earlier timber frame, with exposed gabled ends and brick nogging. No. 5 has a facade treated to resemble timber framing with plaster. Both buildings are two storeys high, with modern doors and casement windows, although No. 6 retains early 19th-century sash windows. A section at the rear has been rebuilt with modern brick. The building is timber-framed throughout, incorporating approximately three parallel crucks, with one exposed in the gabled end of No. 5. A notable figure, Sir William Corvehill, resided here in the early 16th century. The building was formerly known as St Owen’s Well House.
