31 AND 33, 35 AND 35A, CHURCH STREET

A range of houses dating from the 17th century or earlier, with alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The buildings are timber-framed, faced in brick, and have plain tile roofs with gabled ends. They feature brick axial stacks, with a larger stack to the right of centre, which has a moulded base and four diagonally-set shafts. The layout consists of a long main range with cross-wings at each end, and a rear wing at the centre, joined by a further wing at a right angle (No. 35A).

The north front is asymmetrical, with a 1:3:1 window arrangement and gabled cross-wings at either end. The right-hand cross-wing is jettied and timber-framed. Two doors are located to the left of the centre, each with a rectangular overlight. A 18th-century panelled door is situated to the right of the centre, sheltered by a canopy on brackets. The right-hand side has three-light casements with diamond-leaded panes, an oriel in the gable, and four-pane sash windows. There are two gabled dormers to the left of the centre. A wing at the rear (No. 35A) is also present.

The front is constructed of English bond brick, with a large axial stack, brick stringcourses, casement windows, and two gabled dormers. The interior was not inspected.

One building (No. 37) is a 17th-century structure considerably restored in the 19th century using yellow brick. It was formerly the Rectory and has a later addition (No. 35) built onto it. It has a steep tiled roof and features a cross-gable at the western end to allow light into an attic. Another building (No. 31) retains parts of the original structure, including a half-timbered gable with a projecting window. It has a 18th-century panelled door with a brass knocker and a slight moulded hood. The extension at the back shows old casements and half-timber work which have been incorporated. No. 35 was largely rebuilt in the later 19th century, featuring colour-washed brick, tiles, a gable end to the road, two storeys, and sash windows without glazing bars under slightly cambered arches.

The buildings are set within a group context.
