61, High Street

No. 61 High Street is a house and shop that may have been the Town House mentioned in the Manorial Survey of 1580 by John Paxton, steward to the Lord of the Manor. The building dates from the 16th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure with a painted brick casing. The roof is plain tiled, dating from the 20th century, with an end stack on the right side and a ridge stack made of late 19th century yellow brick. The building has two storeys and a rear outshut with a slated roof. The street facade consists of five 'bays', with the parapet removed from the southern three 'bays'. There is a modern shop on the right side, which includes a recessed half-glazed entrance door to the house. To the left, there are two four-paned hung sash windows, with four similar smaller windows on the first floor. Inside, the building features exposed ceiling beams, some of which are carved.
