43-45 AND 43A, THE GREEN

A row of three small houses, now four, likely dating from the 17th and early 18th centuries, with remodelling in the early 19th century. The houses are constructed of marlstone rubble and coursed squared marlstone, with some ashlar dressings. They have thatched and Stonesfield-slate roofs and part-rendered limestone-ashlar stacks.

The building has a one- and two-unit plan, and is two storeys plus attic in height. The two bays to the extreme right of the main range (number 43) are in coursed stone and are probably 17th century. They include a three-light stone mullioned window with a label and two old three-light first-floor casements. A doorway, with a chamfered basket-arched surround below the label featuring carved lozenge stops, and a small window to the right, may be early 19th century. Numbers 44 (two bays) and 45 (one bay) are in rubble and are later, featuring similar doorways to number 43. Ground-floor casements, of two and three lights, have chamfered stone surrounds with labels, and at first floor are three two-light casements with wooden lintels. The main roof has three two-light roof dormers with stone-slate aprons, and two ridge stacks. All windows have lattice glazing, some of which is very old. A lower, slated bay to the right of the main range, with a flat-arched entrance, is now number 43A. The interiors were not inspected.
