16-21, HIGH STREET

A terrace of six houses, numbers 16 to 21, with the leftmost house formerly a shop, was built around 1830 to 1840. The houses are constructed of red brick with slate roofs, and feature gables at the ends and axial chimney stacks. The leftmost house is painted. The design incorporates a double-depth plan and the houses are stepped up the hill. The front is asymmetrical with a seven-window facade. A plat band and a cyma-moulded gutter are present. Cambered brick arches cover the doors to numbers 20 and 21, which are 20th century replacements. Most windows are mid-19th century 16-pane sashes, except for the first bay from the right, which has 2-pane sashes. The shopfront on the leftmost house retains a 15-pane window with timber glazing bars and a cornice.

A separate listing refers to numbers 16 to 20, and describes a row of what was likely originally six adjoining houses, probably dating to the late 19th century. The construction is red brick with slate roofs, gabled ends, and axial stacks, with the leftmost house painted. The plan is of a terrace of four or five double-depth adjoining cottages; the centre three are one room wide, the right-hand cottage is two rooms wide, the left-hand house includes a shop to the right, a room to the left of the central entrance, and a cartway to the left. The terrace is located to the west of the church, forming part of the late 19th century village centre. The front has a seven-window facade with largely original 16-pane timber sashes, except for the first bay from the right which has 2-pane sashes. The leftmost house retains a probable original 15-pane shop window with timber glazing bars and a cornice; windows in the second and third bays from the right have shutters. Two 19th century front doors are located at the right end, while the others are later replacements. It is a plainer brick terrace compared to the adjacent Gothic terraces in High Street and Church Street, and represents an important range of buildings in the village centre around the church.
