115, High Street

House with shop premises, dating back to the 16th century with later additions and a front dating to the early 18th century. The building is constructed of coursed and squared rubble with ashlar dressings and a Cotswold stone roof, arranged around a courtyard plan. It is two storeys high, with an attic in part of the roof, and features a moulded cornice and parapet. There are five windows on the front elevation; the outer windows are within raised flat surrounds, the central one is within an architrave, and all have bull-nose cills and aprons below. The ground floor has alternating doorpieces and segmental bowed shop fronts with a virtually continuous frieze. A central Doric portico with three-quarter columns is flanked by Tuscan porticoes (likely dating to the 19th century), and incorporates half-glazed doors with raised and fielded lower panels.

The East cross-wing is built of coursed and dressed rubble with a roof featuring two hipped ends and a low link. It contains 16-pane sashes within raised flat surrounds with keys; on the ground floor, the windows incorporate thick glazing bars with corner blocks. The early 18th-century date suggested for this wing may be correct, as it is believed to have been built for Richard Whitehall, a mercer. There are elliptical-headed entries to the front and rear, and a flagged alley.

The rear wings have continuous first-floor jetties. A square stair turret with a tall, segment-headed keyed window is situated at the South-West corner of the courtyard. A Tudor arch doorway leads to the South wing, and includes a stilted label.

The interior of the North wing’s ground floor features panelling dated 1555, bearing the mark of Simon Wysdom; the timber is primarily chestnut. A ten-light mullion window with leaded lights is set within the South wall of the South wing, but is now blocked. The staircase is a cramped dog-leg design, with turned balusters and high, ramped hand-rails; some newel ends are moulded, and the lower section (leading to the cellar) features splat balusters. Several features from various periods are present throughout the building. The main first-floor front room is panelled, and above it is a plaster panel dated 1722 with initials "R.S." The South wing contains a cross-beamed first-floor ceiling with ridged chamfer-stops. Above the roofline are wind-braces and a square ridge. Moulded beams and 17th and 18th-century panelling are commonly found throughout. The house was historically associated with the local notable Simon Wysdom in the 16th century.
