Description

The Royal British Legion Club consists of a pair of buildings that have been linked into a complex group. The core of the buildings dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, with 20th-century alterations. They are timber-framed and rendered, featuring roofs that are partly covered with plain tiles and partly with pantiles.

No. 64 has a front range that is one storey high with attics, positioned gable-on to the street and adorned with fluted bargeboards. There is a lean-to addition along the south side and a single-storey brick extension from the 19th century, which now includes the entry to No. 63, located to the south. A two-storey rear range runs parallel to the street.

No. 65 is also gable-on to the street and features two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, along with a single-storey lean-to on the north side. It has matching pierced and fluted bargeboards on both the main roof and the lean-to. There are extensive 20th-century rear extensions. The two gabled ranges are connected along the street front by a single-storey section with a pitched plain-tiled roof. The windows on the front are irregularly spaced but share a consistent style: they are two-light early 20th-century casements with transoms, square leaded panes, and wooden hood-moulds above.

Inside, No. 65 features an extensive cellar with walls made of flint, brick, and stone, and a heavy main beam with joists set on edge. The rear extensions to the cellars from the 19th century are made of brick, but there is an old brick and flint wall running east-west. Modern renovations have concealed original features, with main beams boxed in. In the front range of No. 64, only cambered tie-beams are visible. There is a rear range that was not inspected, which runs parallel to the street and is part of this complex but is not accessible from the front, and it may hold historical interest.
