34, Market Square

No. 34 Market Square is a shop and dwelling dating from the 17th century. It features a combination of part-rendered limestone rubble and timber framing with brick infill, topped by an old plain-tile roof with brick end stacks. The building is arranged in an L-plan and has two storeys plus attics. The rendered front displays two wide 20th-century casements above a projecting late-19th-century shop front, which includes canted bay windows flanking double doors. To the right, there is a wide vehicular entry with a heavy chamfered lintel. The steep-pitched roof has two small flat-headed roof dormers. The walling above the rear of the archway is timber framed, and a rear wing extends from the left. Inside, there are heavy stop-chamfered beams in both ranges, an early 18th-century dog-leg stair with turned balusters and a moulded handrail, and two small 17th-century oak panelled doors. This building may have originally been part of the former Red Lion Inn, located to the left at No. 35.
