Includes: No.11 Tools and Things HATTER STREET. Shop, formerly a house and shop. C17 with an earlier core and later alterations. Timber-framed and rendered with C20 plaintiles: an L-shaped building, in 2 separate ranges, on a corner site with a return front to Hatter Street. The roof of the Hatter Street range tops over the Churchgate range, which has a gable end facing Hatter Street. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics. 2 windows on Churchgate Street: 16-pane sashes in flush cased frames; 3 similar windows on Hatter Street. 2 flat-headed dormers with C20 fenestration to Churchgate Street. The ground storey has a C20 shop front. INTERIOR: the 2 ranges of the building have been occupied as separate dwellings, but were probably part of one house originally. The Churchgate Street range, in 3 bays, has most of its timbers covered or boxed-in, with the exception of one trimmer which has a very wide chamfer and broach stops, suggesting a late C15/early C16 date. The Hatter Street range, in 2 bays, was formerly jettied and has an exposed early-to-mid C16 ceiling to the ground storey, the main cross-beams with a roll-and-hollow moulding and run-off stops, the joists ogee-moulded. The rear (east) wall has been removed for a later extension, but a beam with embattled ornament remains at ceiling height. In the southern of the 2 bays is a good blocked stair-trap with moulded surrounds to the former opening. No exposed timbers on the upper storey or the roof, which may well have been replaced in conjunction with creating an attic storey.
