21, King'S Head Street

No. 21 King's Head Street is a house dating from the mid-16th century. It is timber-framed and plastered, featuring gabled roofs covered with plain clay tiles. The building has two storeys and attics, with a long wall jetty supported by two exposed jetty brackets. The front façade displays two low-pitched linked gables. On the first floor, there are two double-hung sash windows with small panes and moulded surrounds. The ground floor has two similar but wider windows, positioned one on each side of a 19th-century six-panel door. At the north-west end of the façade, there is an opening with a 20th-century wrought iron gate leading to a rear yard and No. 21A. At the rear, there is a parallel range that is also two storeys high, topped with a clay plain tile gambrel roof.

Inside, the house features a single continuous stop-chamfered spine beam and an evenly studded south-eastern flank wall. On the first floor, the top plates and front tie-beam are partially exposed, and the roofs of the gables have been renewed. Historically, it is said to have been the house of Christopher Jones, the Master of the 'Mayflower'.
