Description
A town house, dating from circa 1600, which is now a shop, and underwent restoration in 1918. The building is timber-framed with plaster infill, and has a slate roof with brick end stacks. It is three storeys high, with a symmetrical facade of two windows. The first and second floors are jettied; the second floor has two gables, truncated and infilled to create a full storey. A 20th-century shop front is present. The first floor has four-light wooden ovolo-mullioned and transomed oriels, a small two-light window to the right centre, and leaded glazing throughout. The first floor exhibits close studding below herring-bone bracing, while the second floor features bressumers carved with snaky monsters, curved braces to the gables, and thin scantlings for the infill. The interior includes broadly chamfered beams to the front of the ground floor, and some visible timber-framing to the returns on the first floor. Historically, the property belonged to Richard Quiney, a contemporary of Shakespeare and author of the only surviving letter written to him.
