Description

Nos. 90, 92, and 94 High Street is a 15th-century warehouse that has been converted into a shop. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with gabled roofs covered in plain tiles. It consists of two blocks: a wide main block and a narrower block to the north-west, which features a front parapet that continues the main facade.

The building stands two storeys tall. The main elevation includes one small and one larger sash window, both with moulded surrounds and a single vertical glazing bar. The ground floor has modern plate-glass shop fronts arranged in three canted bays, along with one modern entrance door.

Inside the main block, there is an impressive timber frame consisting of four narrow, equal bays with a very wide span. The uncambered tie beams are supported by jowled posts, with short arch braces at the front and back of the three central trusses, creating a large open space. The end walls feature widely spaced studs and external wall braces at the front corners. The roof includes crown posts with substantial longitudinal braces, and the intermediate trusses have plain 'propping posts' with forked heads that clasp the collar purlin. This structure may have originally been a purpose-built warehouse.

The narrower block to the north-west was part of a larger building that included Nos. 86 and 88. It is also timber-framed and features two cambered tie beams visible on the first floor. The section adjoining the main block has grooves for arch braces, indicating it was 'open-framed', while the other section, which defines a square bay, lacks both partition and arch braces. The height to the wall-plate level in this area suggests it may have been a small open hall.

Historically, the main structure was referred to as a warehouse in 16th-century property deeds.
