69, Church Street

No. 69 Church Street is a house in a row that also functions as a restaurant, dating from the early to mid-18th century. It features Flemish bond brickwork, a tiled roof, and brick stacks. The building has a deep plan with a front block and a right-angle gable-ended rear wing. It stands three storeys tall and has two windows. The original 12-pane sash windows are set in face boxes beneath cambered arches and have stone sills. On the ground floor, there are two wide 24-pane display windows with 18th or early 19th-century glazing bars, along with a recess that was formerly a doorway. The entrance is now through an opening on the right, which used to be a throughway under No. 70. There are two courses of brick bands above the arches of the first and second-floor windows, and the parapet features concrete coping. The stack and roof are not visible from the street. A deep shaped fascia runs above the heads of the ground floor windows and continues to No. 70. The interior has not been inspected, but a photograph from 1959 in the National Monuments Record shows the front before alterations obscured the original layout.
