8, High Street

No. 8 High Street is a house and inn, dating from the late 17th century, which was refronted and extended in the early 18th century, with a further rear extension in the early 19th century. It was altered internally in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of rendered brick with stone dressings, rendered rubble with squared, coursed limestone rubble sides, and has brick stacks to the right-hand and rear gables and a stone slate roof, with pantiles to the rear. It has a 2-room parallel plan with a rear wing extended twice.

The front elevation has two storeys and an attic, with a 3-window range. An early 19th-century shop front features an ashlar stall riser beneath 20th-century plate-glass windows that curve into a left-hand doorway and panelled door, with heavy ovolo-moulded timber doorposts and a full-width bracketed canopy. To the left, a segmental-arched carriage opening was inserted between No. 9. The first floor has rusticated quoins and a timber modillion cornice gutter. The early 18th century has bolection-moulded architraves to early 19th-century 6/6-pane sashes, and two 19th-century gabled dormers with casements. An original lead downpipe and decorative hopper with a wreath flanked by figures are also present. The rear wing has a brick gable and exposed 19th-century sawn purlin ends. The carriage passage has timber joists and a horizontal sliding sash in a blocked former side entrance. Two further ranges of differing heights have wide timber lintels.

The interior includes a panelled ground-floor room in the rear extension, featuring a boxed-out cornice. The front ground floor has a late 20th-century inserted stair and removed partition walls. The building was historically part of a U-shaped plan with No. 9, suggesting a previous use as an inn.
