36, Church Street

No. 36 Church Street is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in 1712 and the 19th century. It features a timber frame that is plaster rendered, topped with modern tiles on the original roof. The house has a chimney stack from the 18th century and a 17th-century stack located at the south end of the crosswing, with diagonally set shafts on a rectangular base. The building has a hall and east crosswing plan and stands two storeys tall.

The main range includes two first-floor flush frame hung sashes and two similar windows on the ground floor, positioned on either side of the doorway. The entrance is framed by an early 19th-century pilastered doorcase with a flat hood and a six-panelled door. The crosswing, which is also two storeys, was originally jettied at the first floor but is now underbuilt. Each storey of the crosswing has one similar hung sash. Notably, at the first floor, there is a lead roundel featuring the initials MSIS and the year 1712, along with butchers trade signs, which are similar in style to those found at the east gable end of the Cock Inn. The crosswing is cellared.

The house was likely renovated by Mary and John Smith, who married in 1711; John Smith was a collar maker.
