10, Church Street

No. 10 Church Street is a house dating from the 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed with a brick facade that is plastered, and it has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. It has three bays facing east with a central chimney stack, which originally formed a lobby-entrance that is now blocked. There is an original rear wing that creates a T-plan, along with 18th and 19th century extensions at both rear angles. The house was extended to the left by one bay in the 19th century, with a further extension added to the rear in the 20th century.

The house is one storey high with attics and features three 20th century sash windows with 12, 16, and 16 lights respectively, designed in a late 18th century style, as well as three similar sash windows with 12 lights in lean-to dormers. There are also two 20th century doors. The roof is gambrel-shaped, and there is a dentilled course below the eaves at the front. The chimney shaft is cement-rendered. Inside, the transverse beams are made of softwood, with a vertical section and are chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, accompanied by plain joists of vertical section.

One original window with 20 fixed lights, featuring crown and bull's-eye glass, is now located in an internal wall and is not in its original position. A major renovation took place in 1965, and old photographs indicate that the building was once a shop and two cottages. A conveyance dated 5 December 1884 between William Walford, a grocer, and his son, describes the property as a 'brick built messuage ... divided into and used as two several tenements and a shop many years ago built by Henry Ray upon the site of an old messuage pulled down by him theretofore standing upon a certain rood of land there commonly called the Guildhall.'
