95 And 97, High Street

Nos 95 and 97 High Street comprise two adjoining buildings, likely dating from the early 15th century. The frontages together measure approximately 60 feet. The roofs have a steep pitch and are tiled, with newer tiles on No 97. The front elevation is rendered with incised coursing, while the buildings are stone-built and feature a wooden moulded eaves cornice. Timber and brick are used extensively within the properties, particularly at the rear.

No 95 has a late 19th-century shop front with pilasters and fascia brackets, currently occupied by a Trustee Savings Bank. No 97 possesses an almost entirely glazed ground floor with Gothic-style glazing in five bays, one of which serves as the entrance. A substantial two-storey extension to the rear features tiled roofs; No 97 is constructed of brick, while No 95 is of stone.

The interior retains carved posts and door jambs from the 15th century. Rehabilitation work revealed reused 17th-century timbers within the roof of No 97. The ground floor of the central section contains a low archway with heavy moulded beams supported by moulded jambs and angle braces.

Nos 79, 81, 81A, 83, 87 to 103 (odd numbers) form a group, of which Nos 99 and 101 are of local interest only.
