Description
No 16 on St Nicholas Street is a small timber-framed and plastered building dating from the 16th to 17th century. It features two projecting gables of different heights, with the southern gable now forming part of No 18. The building has two window openings with casements. On the ground floor, there is a small 20th-century shop and a passageway that leads to a small courtyard at the rear, which originally opened onto the east front of the Unitarian chapel. The roofs are tiled. Nos 10 to 24 (even) are a group of similar small timber-framed and plastered houses from the 16th to 17th century, some of which have been altered in the 18th century and later.
