12 And 13, Mill Street

12 and 13 Mill Street are a pair of houses in a row, originally built in the late 15th or 16th century and refronted in the mid-18th century. They feature heavy timber-framed construction that has been faced with brickwork, and they have a steep-pitched tiled roof with a brick stack. The houses are two storeys high with attics and have a parallel plan, displaying a wide spacing of one window on the left and one on the right. All windows are 20th-century replacements. The ground floor windows are set to brick voussoirs on the left and to a segmental relieving arch on the right, where there was once a wider opening. There is a blocked opening above the door to No. 13. The doors are centrally located, with No. 12 having a 19th-century plank door and No. 13 featuring a wider 19th-century plank door under a segmental voussoir relieving arch. A brick stack is located at the right gable end, and there is a straight joint in the brickwork to the left, with the roof slightly above No. 14. The rear of the houses showcases heavy tension-braced close-studded timbering, two 2-light gabled dormers, and an early 4-light horizontal casement at eaves level on the right. The interior has not been inspected.
