Description

Nos 1 to 3 Market Place are 18th-century buildings located on the east side of the Market Place. No 1 is a three-storey structure with two windows, featuring stucco that is lined and painted. It has flush frame sash windows, now with only central glazing bars, and a pantile roof. The entrance includes a four-panel door with a glazed upper half, set in a case with a moulded cornice, and there is a plinth. The mid-19th century shop front has a central entrance and a wooden case with consoles below the cornice.

No 2 is a four-storey building with one window and a four-light window on the upper floors. The ground floor has a shop with a central entrance and early 19th-century windows on either side, framed by a wooden case with coupled brackets below the cornice. The front has stippled rendering, and there is a four-light casement window at the top floor, facing the churchyard.

No 3 is also three-storeys high with stippled renderings. It features small arched staircase windows on each floor, with glazing bars, and flush frame sash windows on the second and third floors. There are two entrances, one on each side of a wider central window, with arched side windows and arched fanlights above the entrances. The eaves cornice has various grouped corbels, and there is one window on the south return at the third floor, with a blank recess at the second floor and a shop on the ground floor. The cornice returns to the south and east. At the rear, there is a canted "V" plan oriel window with a moulded cornice and a curved leaded roof, along with a ground floor verandah wing to the east.
