Chandlers Chaundlers

Chandlers, also known as Nos. 91 and 93, is a Grade II* listed hall house that has been divided into two dwellings. It dates back to the early 15th century, with alterations and additions made in the 17th century. The building features a timber frame that is plaster rendered, with some original pargetted panels visible on the street elevation and sections of exposed timber framing. The roofs are covered with plain tiles.

The main hall range is one storey high with an attic and is flanked by two storeyed cross wings to the east and west, with a cellar located in the eastern wing. The western cross wing has a crown post roof and an original entrance to the cross passage, which includes a defaced carved wooden door head with a four-centre arch and a jetty that is partly underbuilt. The eastern cross wing, likely from the 17th century, consists of three timber-framed bays and features carved 17th-century barge boards.

On the ground floor, there are four windows, including one oriel window supported by shaped brackets and one 19th-century window that has been added to a 15th or 16th-century frame with a moulded sill. The building also has one gabled dormer window and two attic windows fitted with horizontal sliding sashes. Inside, the timber frame is exposed, and there are inserted floors along with 19th and 20th-century staircases. The original screen in the cross passage has been removed and is reported to be in a house in Fulbourn. The crest of Adam the Chaundler, depicting a pelican in her piety, was taken to the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge around 1930. Additionally, there is a plaster frieze in the eastern cross wing featuring two children, and one fire hook is attached to the east wall.
