12, Market Street

No. 12 Market Street is a Grade II listed building located in Wymondham. This structure consists of two shops that were converted into one in 1939. The original building dates back to around 1520, with a rear wing added around 1670. It features a timber-framed construction and has a roof covered with black glazed pantiles at the front and mixed pantiles at the rear. The building is two storeys high with a dormer attic.

The shop front, designed for a butcher's shop around 1905, is divided into two parts. The eastern section has a central glazed-panel door flanked by two wide sash windows, with pierced iron ventilation spandrels above. Below, there is a tiled dado displaying the name "J.R. Wharton & Son, Butcher." The western section is similar but has only a single display bay to the left of the door. The first-floor jetty is supported by a roll-moulded bressumer. The exterior features exposed studs with plastered infill, decorated with pargetted punched roundels, and three 3-light late 19th-century casements on the first floor. The gabled roof includes two flat-topped dormers and an internal gable-end stack on the eastern side.

At the rear, there is an outshut against the main wall, and a two-storey brick cross wing extends south from the western end, terminating in a straight gable. This gable has a platband at the eaves line and two blocked oval windows. The eastern return features a 3-light ovolo-moulded casement on the first floor, and the gabled roof has a tall gabled dormer at the eaves line.

Inside, the eastern side of the ground floor has a multiple roll-moulded spine beam and wall plate, while the western side features a chamfered spine beam. The first floor is partitioned with little of interest visible. The principal studs are jowled, and there are arched braces to the tie beams along with a clasped purlin roof that includes collars. A winder staircase leads to the attic at the rear of the stack. The roof of the cross wing has butt lower purlins, trenched upper purlins, and collars.
