22, High Street

Number 22 High Street is a house that was formerly a public house and is now a shop. It likely dates from the early 17th century, with remodels in the 18th century and alterations and extensions made in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of painted stone rubble, with extensions in red brick. It features a thatched roof with gabled ends, while the rear has slate roof extensions covered in concrete tiles. The gable end stacks are made of stone rubble with short brick shafts.

The building has an L-shaped plan. The main front range is currently a single shop without partitions. Behind the left end, there is a one-room wing that includes a large gable-end fireplace. A late 19th-century range of outbuildings has been added to the end of the rear wing, which includes one room with ovens, and a large projecting shop window has been installed at the center of the front with a room above.

The exterior is two stories high with a three-bay front. At the center, there is a late 19th-century gabled brick bay featuring a double-fronted shop with canted windows, a central door, and a canted bay window above. To the left and right are three-light windows and a doorway on the left. The first floor has 19th-century two- and three-light casements. At the rear, there is a gable-ended wing on the left with various old casements that have glazing bars, and a late 19th-century brick range of outbuildings attached to the wing, featuring sash windows and first-floor loading doors.

Inside, the ground floor of the front range is now a single shop with various chamfered and unchamfered axial beams. At the rear left, there is a large fireplace with a timber lintel that has been boarded over. The rear wing has a deeply-chamfered axial beam with hollow-step stops and a large stone fireplace with a timber lintel that has been cut away at the center. The left chamber contains a stone fireplace with a low chamfered lintel and hollow-step stops, while the right chamber has a re-used ceiling beam and a fireplace with a roughly-chamfered lintel. There are also various 18th-century panelled doors. The roof is a four-bay structure with two tiers of tenoned purlins and a tenoned collar.

Historically, this building is said to have been the Cock Public House.
