186, High Street

186 High Street is a late medieval building that may have originally been an open hall, with alterations made in the 19th century. The structure consists of four different sections. The front elevation features a mid-19th century false front that is two storeys high with attics, finished in roughcast. It has a gable front adorned with a fleur de lys finial and kneelers, and includes one double sash window set in a cambered head. There is also a 19th century shopfront.

Behind the front section, there is a two-storey timber-framed portion that likely dates from the late 15th to early 16th century. The left side of this section is now faced with 19th century brickwork, while the right side is tile-hung. The building has a steeply pitched tiled roof and features a later, probably 17th century, massive brick chimney stack along with later firegraters. Inside, there are curved braces and an original wooden mullioned window, although the roof is not visible due to an inserted ceiling.

At the rear of the timber-framed section, there is a one-storey portion from the late 15th to early 16th century, which has been enclosed in brick during the 19th century. This section also has a steeply pitched tiled roof with two crown posts, which have curved braces on one side only. A massive red brick chimney stack was likely added in the 17th century, but it does not reach the roof line. Additionally, there is a 19th century stable made of red brick with a tiled roof.

186 High Street, along with Nos. 184, 184A, 184B, and 188, forms a group.
