Old Corner Shop

The Old Corner Shop is a shop building dating from the 17th century and earlier, with alterations from the 18th century and later. It is located at the corner of High Street and Church Approach. The front range is jettied on both faces and features a moulded bressumer supported by four Vitruvian scroll brackets. The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with a red plain tiled roof that is gabled towards Church Approach. There is a hipped dormer with a 19th-century small paned window facing High Street.

The shop has two storeys, a basement, and attics. Each face of the first floor has two ranges of 19th-century small paned vertical sliding sash windows, and there is a 19th-century attic window on the Church Approach side. The ground floor facing Church Approach includes two 19th-century small paned windows and a 19th-century half-glazed double door with small panes, featuring moulded surrounds that are stop-chamfered and decorated with a chalice and fleur-de-lis.

On the High Street side, there is a 19th-century small paned window to the right and a 17th-century doorway with a moulded surround that is also stop-chamfered, above which is a carved chalice and fleur-de-lis, along with the date 1642. The building has a coved eaves cornice and a red brick chimney stack with two octagonal shafts.

To the left of the Church Approach face, there are two attached buildings. The first is two storeys high, likely from the late 15th or early 16th century, originally jettied, and features a two-window range of 19th-century three-light casements. The first floor displays an exposed timber frame that may date from the 15th or 16th century or earlier. The second attached building is a single storey, partly rough rendered and partly weatherboarded, with a hipped red plain tile roof sloping to the left. It has a double door on the left and an early three-board door in a moulded surround on the right. All these buildings contribute visual and historic interest to the Church and High Street.
