94-100, HIGH STREET

Nos 94 to 100 on High Street are a row of four houses dating from the 17th century. They are built of rubble stone that was formerly roughcast and limewashed, with stone tiled roofs, coped gables, end wall stacks, and paired central ridge stacks. The houses are one and a half storeys tall and feature four large coped dormer gables.

The original mullion windows are recessed and chamfered. No 94 has an original two-light upper window, a ground floor door set in a chamfered surround with a renewed lintel and hoodmould, and a canted bay window with an ashlar base and small paned timber windows with top lights. No 96 features an original three-light upper window, a ground floor studded plank door in a chamfered Tudor-arched surround, and a four-light recessed cyma-moulded mullion window. No 98 has an original three-light upper window with leaded lights and an original three-light ground floor window; the left jamb has a king mullion, suggesting that further lights were removed for a chamfered door surround with a plank door, and there is a continuous hoodmould above.

No 100 shows signs of being added onto. It has an original two-light upper window, a small casement under the eaves to the right, and a ground floor with a long hoodmould over a pair of casement windows and a two-light recessed ovolo-moulded window. The central framed plank door is set in a deep chamfered surround, with another two-light recessed ovolo-moulded window with a hoodmould to the left.

The row has four rear gables and rear wings for Nos 94 and 98. There are dove openings in the gable of No 96 and a two-light recessed chamfered mullion window with a hood to the first floor of No 100. Nos 90 to 112 form a fine group of 17th to 18th century buildings, with Nos 94 to 112 known as the Flemish weavers' houses.
