19 and 21 High Street

19 and 21 High Street is a commercial and residential building constructed between 1849 and 1851, possibly designed by Robert Palgrave. The roof is covered with slate, and the walls are stuccoed over an ashlar limestone shopfront.

The building has an L-shaped plan and faces west towards High Street at the corner with Castle Lane. It features five bays and four storeys. The hipped roof is concealed behind a parapet. The ground floor shopfront, which was replaced around 1915, is made of ashlar limestone and includes a plain cornice, rusticated piers, and pilasters with a dentil course above head-height. The upper three floors are stuccoed, with the first and second floors showcasing giant fluted Corinthian pilasters at the end bays and half-columns in the central bays, topped with a detailed entablature that creates a portico in antis.

The five bays of the upper floors feature flat-arched architraves that contain mid-19th century timber sash windows without horns. The central and end first-floor window surrounds are adorned with a cornice on consoles and a concave curved pediment with anthemion decoration at the top. The second-floor window surrounds have eared architraves, while the third floor is distinguished by pilasters with vermiculated panels, supporting a frieze, cornice, and blocking course with balustrades over the central and end bays.
