50, Crib Street

No. 50 Crib Street is a late 15th-century building with a mid-20th-century extension to the south. It features a timber-framed structure with colourwashed pebbledash over a painted flush brick plinth, topped by a gable with an old tiled roof facing the street. The building shares a red brick chimneystack with No. 52, which has an oversailing course and four pots.

The exterior consists of two storeys, with the first floor jettied and supported by three curved wooden brackets. There is one three-light wooden casement window with leaded glazing on the first floor, while the ground floor has one three-light and one two-light casement, both also with leaded glazing. To the right, there is a single-storey mid-20th-century lean-to with a pantile roof, which is plastered and brick, featuring a recessed entrance door beneath the first-floor overhang.

Inside, the building has a two-bay timber-framed structure, possibly a cross-wing to a hall that was located to the north. The ground floor includes a moulded Tudor-arched door head on the south wall of the front room, with heavy exposed studwork and visible shutter grooves above the ground floor windows. The first floor contains two rooms separated by a studded partition, C18 plank doors, and mortices for wooden mullions for windows in the side wall, with one still in place and shutter grooves above the front window. The roof features an unmoulded crown post with fore and aft bracing to the collar purlin, which is exposed in the rear chamber. There are also fireplaces added in the late 16th century outside the original structure, including a wooden lintel on the ground floor and a stucco-covered moulded elliptical brick arch over the fireplace on the first floor.
