Description

Square Records is a building located on the west side of High Street, likely dating from the 17th century or earlier, although it has undergone significant alterations. The structure features a gable end facing the street, with rendered walls and a tiled roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic. The ground floor has a modern shop front, while the first and attic floors each contain one double hung sash window. The roof has an overhanging verge supported by moulded brackets. Inside, some early timbers of the roof remain, but the interior has been largely changed. The building is included for its group value with other nearby structures.
