Description
56 and 58 High Street is a building that dates back to the 14th or 15th century, with a later 18th century refacing. It features three storeys with a painted brick or possibly mathematical tile facing on the upper floors, which overhangs the ground floor supported by a deep plaster cove. The building has a narrow moulded wood cornice and a plain parapet with stone coping.
Number 56 has two flush framed sash windows without glazing bars on the second floor and a 19th century canted bay window on the first floor. Number 58 has one flush framed sash window and a small casement on the second floor, along with a tripartite sash and a single sash window on the first floor, both retaining their glazing bars. The ground floor features a pair of early 19th century shop fronts; number 56 retains its original state with a ten-pane window and a glazed and panelled door set in a thin pilaster frame, while number 58 has been altered but still keeps its pilaster frame. Behind the front of number 58, the original timber framework is exposed, showing a double overhang, along with some 17th century or early 16th century panelling.
Numbers 50 to 58 (even) and number 64 form a group with numbers 37 to 51 (odd).
