Description
47 and 48 High Street is an attached house that has been converted into shops and offices. It has fragments from the 15th century and was rebuilt in 1763 by Thomas Paty. The building features a rendered exterior with limestone dressings and an interlocking tiled roof. It has a single-depth plan and stands three storeys high with four-window ranges and a parapet. The 19th-century shop fronts include plate-glass, fascias, and cornices. The first floor has three-light display windows with fluted pilasters that have acroteria bases and panelled mullions, topped with five stepped voussoirs leading to plate-glass sashes. The rear elevation showcases a 15th-century two-centre arched five-light window, which likely originated from All Saints' Church, to which it is adjacent. The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of Paty's improvements to the centre and is part of a terrace that includes No. 49.
