No. 13 Cheap Street and No. 16 Abbey Churchyard

No. 13 Cheap Street and No. 16 Abbey Churchyard are a house, now a shop with accommodation above, built in the mid-18th century and altered in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, with the ground floor painted. Its plan is double depth, with elevations facing Cheap Street, High Street, and Abbey Churchyard.

The exterior is four storeys high, with three bays on each elevation. String courses run at each floor level and to the cornice, with the lower two matching those of the adjoining No. 15 Abbey Churchyard but differing from the later No. 14 Cheap Street. The ground floor features shopfronts. The High Street elevation has a mid-19th century shopfront with a blocked central entrance and plate glass windows. Above this are three windows within architraves, all six-over-six sash windows; the outer two have wrought iron balconettes, and the top-floor windows are smaller, topped by a crowning pediment. The Cheap Street elevation has a small, altered shopfront designed by Wilson, Willcox and Wilson in 1877, above which are three windows; the left-hand window is blind, and the windows are six-over-six sashes with a cornice and blocking course. The Abbey Churchyard elevation is similar to the Cheap Street elevation, with a blind window to the right-hand side; the ground floor has a plain plate glass window and a plain doorway set within a reveal. A stone stack with pots is also visible.

The interior has not been inspected. The building possesses significant group value when viewed from various directions and appears prominently in pictures of the High Street.

Historically, both sides of Cheap Street, a key shopping street, were redeveloped around 1790 under designs by Thomas Baldwin, coinciding with the street's widening. This included shopfronts along the full length of both sides. While the shopfronts have been replaced, some semi-engaged columns on the party lines on the south side remain (at Nos. 17 and 19-20), as does the archway leading to Abbey Churchyard.
