1, Market Place

No. 1 Market Place is a building that likely dates from the late 13th or 14th century, with a probable extension from the 19th century. It originally served as shops with accommodation above, though its original use is not known. The structure features a timber-frame construction with a rendered front and a rear wing made of gault brick. The roofs are slate with gabled ends, and there are brick gable ends and axial stacks.

The building has a plan that includes an original short front range parallel to the road, which may have been an open hall or had a chamber open to the roof, unheated or with a stack originally, as the roof is not smoke-blackened. The rear wing, likely added or rebuilt in the 19th century, has a north end that dates back to the late 17th century.

It stands two storeys tall with an attic and features a two-window front. The ground floor has a 20th-century shop front with a high fascia, while the first floor has 19th-century four-pane sash windows set within moulded architraves. There is a moulded eaves cornice and two gabled dormers from the late 19th or 20th century. The long rear wing contains casements and three nine-pane sashes.

Inside, the first floor showcases 19th-century joinery. The large splayed scarf wall-plate and studs of the rear wall are visible in the roof space. The original unblackened roof structure remains intact and consists of large common rafter couples, with pegs on the tops of the collars indicating it was a crown-post roof.
