Post Office

The building is a former house, now a dwelling, which is part of the Oxfordshire County Museum and serves as a post office. It dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century and is constructed of coursed limestone rubble. The roof is double-gabled in an M shape, covered with stone slates, and features brick stacks at the right end and ridge, as well as a stone stack finished in brick at the left end. The building has a double-depth plan, is two storeys tall with an attic, and has a five-window range.

On the right side, there is a three-window range with wrought-iron brackets supporting a flat hood above a 20th-century door. The mid-19th century shop fronts have 4-light windows with glazing bars and sunk spandrels beneath arched heads, and flat stone arches above horned and unhorned 8-pane sash windows. To the left, there is a similar bracketed hood and a timber lintel over an 18th-century six-panelled door. A 17th-century two-storey square bay window has 8-pane sashes with thick glazing bars on the ground floor. The left bay features mid-19th century canted bay windows with six-pane sashes framed by pilasters and a moulded cornice. The roof has three gabled dormers with 2-light latticed and leaded windows.

At the rear, there are three 17th-century two-storey wings. The right wing has finely-carved timber lintels over a 2-light leaded casement and a 3-light wood-mullioned window, along with a later 17th-century bay with a stop-chamfered timber lintel over a 4-light leaded casement. There is a 20th-century extension to the rear left. Inside, the building features stop-chamfered beams. The left side, No. 8, has stop-chamfered and cased beams, some early 17th-century panelling with a fluted frieze in the room to the right, a late 18th-century panelled door with a brass Dutch-drop handle, and an early 19th-century moulded plaster cornice. The building is noted for having 17th-century staircases with turned balusters at the rear of Nos. 2-6. It was referred to as "newly built" in 1608.
