Trinder House and Clifton House

Trinder House and Clifton House, dating primarily from the 17th century but largely refaced in the 18th century, stand on the north-west side of High Street. A front inscription reads "H.W.L. 1717," indicating a significant remodelling and refronting of an earlier house. The building is constructed of cut and squared rubble, with a concrete tile roof and three ashlar chimneys topped with cornices. Three gabled dormers are present. The front presents a remodelled facade combining two original houses; the left-hand section has a thicker ground floor, beginning at the first-floor cill level, while the right-hand section begins at string level. Three pilasters, appearing to rise only to the first floor and featuring good Ionic capitals, are a key feature. The eaves include a cornice and modillions that project forward over the pilasters. Windows are predominantly two- and three-light mullion and transom designs. The ground floor of Clifton House has a three-light mullion and transom window, a central door with a transom light, and a Tudor-arched alleyway door. Trinder House features a slate pentise over an angled bay window containing three glazing bar sashes, and a doorway to its right. The date inscription is situated on the central pilaster. Inside, a large Tudor arch fireplace incorporates an ingle-light and a cooking crane. A through passage retains a plank and muntin partition. A corner fireplace in a front room features a bolection surround.
