5 Church Street

5 Church Street is a house that was formerly part of an inn, dating from the mid to late 17th century, with an early to mid 18th century front range and mid 20th century alterations. The building is constructed of colourwashed brick and features paired wooden eaves brackets. It has a slate roof and brick stacks, forming an L-plan with a carriageway.

The carriage entrance is located on the left and has a gauged brick basket arch with a keyblock and panelled gates. The mid 19th century four-panelled door is accompanied by a door and overlight with decorative glazing, set within a wooden doorcase that has pilaster strips and an entablature. The windows throughout are sashes, with 16 panes on the ground floor, and are topped with gauged brick flat arches with keyblocks and stone sills. There is a window above the arch, situated between the first and second floor levels, which also features a brick apron.

At the rear, the building is made of red brick and has a brick dentil cornice. A brick Dutch gable is positioned above the carriageway, and there is a long brick wing that includes a two-storey arched staircase window with two arched lights and three transoms, along with two cross windows. Attached to the building is a lower stabling range that has a dovecote in the gable.

Inside, the ground-floor front room contains a good early to mid 18th century fireplace and a niche. The corridor features early 17th century panelling that was imported in the mid to late 20th century. The back room has early 17th century panelling that originated from a house in Tewkesbury. There is a dog-leg staircase with column-on-vase balusters, and the first-floor front room boasts a moulded plaster ceiling relief depicting a face and leaves. No. 5 and No. 4 (Angel House) were known as the Angel Inn until 1865.
