Description
Nos 2 to 6 on Church Street in Upton-upon-Severn are a group of three houses, originally a late 16th-century hall house, which was refaced in brick around 1720 and is reputed to have served as a manorial courthouse. The two-bay hall is now part of the east side of No 2 and No 4, while the end bay has been converted into No 6. The west side of No 2 features a separate timber-framed structure dating from around 1600, which has its own roof. The exposed timbers can be seen in the east gable.
The main range has a continuous roofline with a central brick stack and is covered with plain tiles. The front elevation includes a continuous parapet adorned with five urns. The main range appears to be three stories high with six windows, although it has dummy attic windows, while the end range appears to be two stories with larger windows, including a dummy window on the first floor. Early 18th-century glazing bars are present on the dummy windows and on all windows of No 2. Throughout the building, there are flat rubbed brick arches and moulded stone sills. Original pedimented wooden door hoods can be found on Nos 2 and 4, and there are eight-panel doors on Nos 2 and 6. No 4 features a lead rainwater head from the 18th century.
Inside No 2, there is a fine interior with a staircase hall that has an altered stair and a moulded plaster ceiling from around 1720. The end section contains two large rooms; the ground floor has late 18th-century panelling, while the first floor features earlier 19th-century plaster borders and two full-height sash windows with glazing bars in the west wall.
