13, The Churchyard

This is a house located at 13 The Churchyard, built in the early 19th century, with a possibly older core. It features painted brickwork, with the end gables rendered, and a rear wall that is timber-framed and rendered. The roof is covered with Welsh slate and is hipped to the right. A tall ridge stack is made of narrow brick, with two later sections added in gault and common brick. The house has two storeys and a two-window range, consisting of two-light casements above two 6/6 sash windows, all under segmental brick arches. The doorway on the left has a shallow-gabled hood with an inner moulded stone surround, supported by stone pilasters, and features a 19th-century four-panel door. The rear has horizontal-sliding sash windows. Inside, there may be a re-used heavy ceiling beam in a ground-floor room, and there are two early 19th-century cast-iron grates in the first-floor fireplaces. A straight-flight stair leads to the rear under a catslide roof. This house may have been part of the parish workhouse that was adjacent to it on the left and was demolished around 1897. It is included for its group value.
