Description
No. 90 High Street is a house that has been converted into a restaurant and shop. It dates from the late 16th century to the 17th century, with 19th-century extensions and 20th-century alterations. The building is timber framed, covered in whitewashed roughcast and timber panels, and features a plain tiled roof with a gable end facing the street.
It stands three storeys high with attics in the front range and is three framed bays deep, with a ridge stack located in the centre bay. The first and second floors are accentuated by giant end pilasters. The attic has a leaded casement window that includes some old glass. A prominent feature is the projecting square bay oriel window that spans the first and second floors, which has mullioned and transomed leaded lights, some of which also contain old glass. Each floor has two smaller lights on either side of a wider central light, with three balusters—one at each end and one in the middle—beneath each window.
The ground floor has a coved fascia board and features 20th-century arched two-light windows, with leaded upper lights above a dentilled transom. There is a door to the left set in a recess. At the rear, there is a further timber-framed structure connected by a first-floor passage. The "Tudor Hall" at the back consists of two bays under a hipped plain tiled roof, with additional extensions.
Inside, the front roof has a staggered butt purlin structure. There is a late 17th-century to early 18th-century turned baluster staircase leading to the first floor, featuring square newel posts. The Tudor Hall has a two-bay crown post roof, although its authenticity is uncertain. An octagonal crown post, which is braced in four directions, rests on a block placed on a reused cambered tie beam, with further cut and reused timber present in the wall plates. Photographs of the building are available in the National Monuments Record.
