22, 24 and 26, High Street

Nos. 22, 24, and 26 High Street are two shops with storerooms above, dating from the early 16th century, with alterations from the early 17th century and early 19th century. The building has two storeys with attics and features five windows. It is timber-framed and encased in 19th-century gault brick, topped with a plaintiled roof and end chimneys made of gault brick. The first floor has 19th-century small-pane sash windows with flat arches of gault brick. The late 19th-century shop fronts include half-glazed panelled doors and slightly splayed windows, each with a drip-mould above the fascia. A central early 19th-century entrance doorway features a moulded entablature on fluted pilasters, with a recessed six-panelled entrance door between panelled reveals and an oblong fanlight with border panes. The early 16th-century rear wing facing the churchyard once had a jettied upper floor with a carved bressumer, now concealed by plaster. The gabled plaintiled 17th-century dormer has some moulded mullions and was altered in the 18th century with leaded casements. A first-floor room is fully panelled with early 17th-century wainscotting.
