36 and 37, The Tything

These two houses, now shops and offices, form part of a terrace built around 1770 to 1790. Later additions and alterations have been made. The houses are constructed of red brick with painted stucco details, and have a plain clay tile roof. A party wall stack is located on the rear roof slope. The roof features an overhanging detail and decorative pots.

The front elevation has four first-floor windows and five second-floor windows (arranged as 2:2 and 2:3 respectively). Stucco details include an eaved cornice with moulded and dentilled decoration on the right-hand house, as well as sills. The first-floor windows have 6/6 sash windows with flat, gauged brick arches. The second-floor windows are 3/6 sashes with arched tops set within segmental arches; all windows are near-flush fitted.

A mid-20th century shopfront is present on the left-hand house, while the right-hand house has a 19th-century timber shopfront, featuring pilasters, fluted console brackets, and a moulded cornice. A recessed shop entrance with a six-panel door and plain fanlight is located on the right.

Inside, the ground floor features neo-classical plasterwork on the ceiling, with a central design depicting Father Time.
