Description

Nos 19, 21, and 21A on High Street are a house and two shops dating from the 18th century. The building has three storeys and is timber-framed, faced with mathematical tiles, featuring long and short painted wooden quoins and a bracket eaves cornice. It has a hipped tiled roof and four sashes with intact glazing bars. The modern shop fronts include an original doorcase situated between pilasters, a pediment, a segmental fanlight, and a six-panel moulded door. The easternmost window space on the first and second floors contains a loft door with a window, indicating that there was once hoist machinery nearby, suggesting the property may have originally served as a miller's or chandler's warehouse. The side elevation features two outside chimney stacks and is partly tile-hung. All the listed buildings on the south side from Nos 17 to 57 form a group.
