Description
No. 20 High Street North is a shop that may have originally been part of an inn, dating from around 1600. It has been extensively altered and refronted in the 19th century. The building is finished in colour-washed stucco and has a modern tiled roof, with some internal timber framing still visible. It stands three storeys tall. The second floor features three blocked windows beneath a moulded cornice and over-storey band. The first floor has a central sash window flanked by canted bays, which rest on top of a 19th-century shop front. Notably, the building is listed for its wall painting on six panels of the first-floor party wall, depicting a hunting scene with various motifs set against a verdant tapestry background. The panels, arranged from front to rear, include a small rabbit, a man smoking a pipe or blowing a hunting horn, a cock's head, a running stag, a greyhound, and the figure of a man.
