Chain House

This is a timber-framed chain house dating from the late 13th century to the early 19th century. It is two storeys high with attics, and the timber frame is faced with mathematical tiles. The building has two dormers and a wooden eaves cornice. There are three window openings, although the glazing bars have been lost. Two modern bay windows have been added to the ground floor. The doorcase features Doric pilasters, a pediment, and a six-panel moulded door, with the top two panels cut away and glazed. The listed buildings on the West Side of East Cross form a group, reflecting their historical connection.
