1 and 2 St Paul's Square

The buildings comprise a timber-framed house dating back to around 1460, extended and remodelled in the 18th century, further extended in the 19th century, and a pair of houses built in the late 18th century, also remodelled and extended in the 19th century, all converted to apartments around 2015.

The roofs are covered with Welsh slate. Walls are constructed of red brick or gault brick, with the front elevations stuccoed. The buildings are rectangular on plan, facing north onto St Paul’s Square, and have rear (south) extensions.

1 St Paul’s Square is a symmetrical five-bay, three-storey former house built around 1460. It was extended and remodelled in 1764, further extended in the 19th century, and converted to flats around 2015. The steeply pitched roof is covered with Welsh slate and has a red brick chimneystack at the east end of the ridge. A deep eaves cornice is supported by modillion brackets. The brick walls are stuccoed, with flush flat-arched window surrounds containing six-over-six timber sash windows without horns. The central doorway has an early 19th-century surround, featuring an entablature with egg-and-dart and paterae ornamentation to its frieze and Doric pilasters with paterae to their frieze. A panelled architrave contains a four-panel door with a margin of paterae and a rectangular overlight with lozenge tracery. Pointed railings on a low plinth wall were erected around 2015.

To the west of number 1 is a three-storey, five-window pair of houses (formerly numbers 2 and 3, later known as number 1A, now containing flats numbered 1C, 2, and 2A-2E). Built in the late 18th century, they were remodelled and extended in the 19th century, and converted to apartments around 2015. The pair share a shallow-pitched, Welsh slate–covered roof with two red brick chimneystacks along the ridge. Each building has a bracketed hood over the ground floor. The outer bay of each features a four-panel door with a rectangular overlight, while the inner bay has a canted window. A shared carriageway is arched and has double timber plank doors. The pair of buildings feature a variety of timber sash windows without horns.
