Description
The Town Preacher's House is a house dated 1611, located in Ludlow. It features a timber-frame and plaster construction with a plain tile roof and a brick ridge stack. The building has three storeys and a cellar, with a four-window range. The 18th-century canted bays have single casements, flanking a central 18th-century light with a casement. There is also a casement to the left. The house displays chevron braced box framing with studding beneath the bays and twin jettied gables over moulded bressummers on enriched consoles. To the left, there are plank doors leading to a passageway at the rear, and to the right, there is a 20th-century oak door that is part-glazed with coloured leaded lights, set in a beaded case with an overlight, under a moulded flat hood on consoles. This door is flanked by 19th-century canted bays.
