40, Butter Market

BUTTER MARKET 1. 5379 (South Side) No 40 TM 1644 NW 1/390 II GV

1. Originally the western half of a very large C16 timber-framed house of which No 42 was the eastern half. It originally had a frontage similar to No 42 with double jetties but was refronted in stucco in the early C19 with a parapet, and altered later. 3 storeys. 4 window range, casements with moulded architrave. The ground storey has a C20 shop front. Roof tiled. The roof is continuous with that of No 42, with a central chimney stack. At the rear there is a jettied range at right angles to the front, with 2 bays at the south end of apparently later date. The interior has high ceilings with exposed beams and joists with roll mouldings, (as in No 42). There are also some sections of square Jacobean panelling. None of the original structure can be seen at the front of the building.
