Description
No. 10 Abbey Church Yard is a shop with accommodation above, dating from around 1795 and altered in 1875, likely by John Palmer. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof. It has a double-depth plan with a rear extension.
The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with a width of two windows. The ground floor showcases a shopfront from 1875, which includes arched window heads and a continuous fascia at the first-floor sill level. To the right, there is a six-panel door leading to a through entry, topped with a grille. The windows are six over six sashes, typical of the late 18th century, set in plain openings. The building has a parapet and a mansard roof with two small paned dormers, along with ashlar stacks that have pots.
The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this building is part of the less prominent 1790s redevelopment of the western end of Abbey Churchyard. It appears to have been constructed separately from Nos. 6-9, as it has differing floor heights, but is likely nearly contemporary and contributes to the overall remodelling of the city during that period.
