Description

Nos. 2 and 3 The Chantry is a house and shop with accommodation above, which was formerly partly used as a working men's club. It dates from the 15th century and has been altered over time. The building features a timber frame that is partly clad in roughcast and has been partially refronted in red brick around 1900. The roofs are made of stone slate and Bridgwater tile for No. 2, while No. 3 has a concrete tile roof.

The structure is two storeys tall. The left end of the front range, part of No. 2, has stone slates, a north side wall stack, and a jettied, close-studded timber-framed east end wall resting on a rubble stone plinth. Notable features include a ground floor carved post with a curved bracket, a carved bressumer, curved angle braces, and four tiers of timber weatherings. The first floor has pairs of casement windows, while the ground floor features paired sash windows. There is a 20th-century porch at the rear wing, which has an east front that was refaced in red brick around 1900 with a projecting ground floor. The original rubble stone south end wall includes an outside stack.

No. 3 has a roughcast north front with two ridge stacks. The left side has a two-storey canted bay made of ashlar from the 19th century, followed by a six-panel door with an overlight, and two pairs of casement windows on the first floor above an early 19th-century twenty-pane bowed shop window and another pair of casement windows. To the right, there is a door and a casement pair; this section may have been added later due to a change in the wall plate. The rear of the L-shaped plan has been mostly infilled with late 19th and 20th-century extensions.

Inside, the building is likely a former hall-house, with heavy wall framing visible upstairs in No. 3 and heavy chamfered beams upstairs in No. 2. The roof has not been inspected.
