The Bailiffs House

The Bailiffs House is a Grade II* listed building dating from the late 16th century. It is constructed of red brick in English bond, with tile hanging on the rear wing and features a plain tiled roof. The house has a two-cell lobby entry plan and a rear service wing. It stands two storeys high on a plinth, with a kneelered parapet gable on the right side and a truncated stack at the right end, alongside a stack at the left end with octagonal bases for the truncated round chimney shafts. There is a catslide outshot to the left.

On the exterior, there are two three-light wooden casements on each floor and an old boarded door to the left, set in a moulded and stop-chamfered doorway. Garage doors are located to the left in the outshot. The rear wing also features a kneelered parapet gable and is partly tile hung.

Inside, the house includes a contemporary staircase that rises to the attic, featuring finialed principals. The windows have ovolo moulded mullions, some of which contain 17th-century glass. There are inglenook fireplaces and a roof structure with clasped purlins and wind-braces. Notably, the attic plasterwork bears the inscription "Feare God Honour ye King Thomas Miller 1701."

Historically, this house was not the manor house but served as the Bailiff's house and was used as the town's prison. It originally stood alone in the Green opposite the Church, Market cross, and College.
