Description

Nos 21, 23, and 23A Buttermarket is likely a 17th-century timber-framed and plastered building that was refronted in the 18th century and altered in the 20th century, with the ground floor entirely consisting of 20th-century shop premises. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring a nine-window range with double-hung sashes that have glazing bars, all set in flush cased frames. The roofs are tiled and include one hipped dormer. This group of buildings, which includes Nos 21 to 41 (odd), is associated with Nos 18 to 30 (even).
