Numbers 110 (Lamps) With Outbuildings Attached To Rear And Number 112

Numbers 110 (Lamps) with outbuildings attached to the rear and Number 112 are two houses and an antique shop built in the early or mid 16th century, originally as one house, possibly including a shop. The structure features a 3-cell cross-passage entrance plan and has two near-contemporary ranges at the back. It stands two storeys high, with a timber frame encased in mid 19th-century red brick at the front and pebble-dashed along the return elevation to Hawksmill Street. The first floor originally jutted out towards the High Street. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles, topped by a massive axial chimney made of red brick from the 16th or early 17th century.

The mid 19th-century windows have flat arches and small-pane sashes, while Number 112 features 20th-century casements in 19th-century openings. Number 110 has a six-panelled entrance door, with fielded lower panels and glazed upper panels, topped by a blank semi-circular fanlight. Number 112 has a six-panelled door from around 1980 in a 19th-century opening. This building is a well-preserved example of an early 16th-century house.

Inside, the hall has a two-and-a-half bay layout with a fine exposed first-floor structure, featuring roll-moulded main beams with fluted soffits. The binding joist at the chimney bay is embattled. The crown-post roof has plain square posts with two-way plank braces. The parlour cell is roofed as a cross-wing with a coupled-rafter roof, which was remodelled in the 17th or 18th century. The narrow range facing Hawksmill Street, now three bays but truncated, is likely original. There are some blocked diamond-mullioned windows in both ranges.

A medieval outbuilding was originally detached behind Number 110 but was later connected by a 19th-century extension. This outbuilding, dating from the late 15th or early 16th century, consists of one bay and still lacks an upper floor. It features good quality arch-braced studwork and a complete coupled-rafter roof, with slight smoke-blackening from an open hearth and a blocked mullioned window high in one gable.
