Outbuilding Parallel West Of Nos 46B And 48B

The outbuilding located parallel to the west of Nos 46B and 48B on Fore Street is likely from the 16th century or earlier. It may contain a 14th-century cruck and is associated with the monks of Buckfast Abbey. The structure is made of roughly coursed stone and is rectangular with a short crosswing featuring a gable on the northwest side. It has a moderate pitch roof with pudlogholes and a casement window. The west face includes casements with glazing bars that are irregularly placed on both the ground and first floors, an archway with a chamfer, a two-panel door, and a massive chimney. This outbuilding, which is probably from the 17th century or earlier, is rectangular in plan, built of narrow coursed stone, and has a hipped slate roof supported by new roof trusses. The east face features three two-light wood mullioned barred openings under the eaves and three casement windows of various types on the ground floor, along with a wide doorway that has a hewn wood triple lintel. The building is currently used for storage and as a workshop. It is part of a group that includes Nos 42 to 84 (even), No 92, and The Shambles.
