Description
11 and 13 Church Street are two houses that have been converted into offices. They date from the 16th century and were altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The buildings are timber-framed, with the first floor plastered and the ground floor faced in red brick laid in Flemish bond on the left side, while the rest is covered in dark-stained weatherboarding. The rear features colourwashed plaster and pebbledashing. The old tiled roof originally had a central projecting jettied gable supported by timber brackets, and there are red brick chimneystacks topped with orange clay pots.
On the exterior, the first floor has a 32-paned Yorkshire sash window on the left, two flush-set wood casements with divided glazing and architrave surrounds in the center, and a small wood casement window on the right. The ground floor includes a modern plain glazed closed window in an earlier (but partly rebuilt) opening, which has a segmental arched rubbed brick above it, along with a 20th-century glazed door and sidelight, and a window with a bold transom in earlier openings. There are also 20th-century doors in earlier openings on the right.
Inside, the structure features a late 16th or early 17th-century timber frame with a cambered tie beam and queen struts, and it previously had arch bracing against the party wall with No. 9. The rear first floor wall plate has two early studs and mortices for three more, with a chimneystack inserted. The ground floor of No. 11 has a corner fireplace, exposed mortices for studs in the 20th-century rear porch, and exposed beams in the ceiling of the right-hand (south) room, which was formerly No. 13.
