54, Church Street

No. 54 Church Street is a house that is part of a row, dating from the 16th century. It has a timber-framed structure that was faced in the mid to late 18th century with a brick front in Flemish bond. The house features a steeply-pitched tile roof and brick stacks. It has a parallel two-room plan with a central through-passage accessible from the doorway of No. 54. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has two windows on the front. The windows are 4-pane sashes set in boxes beneath brick voussoirs, which have fluted stone keys and a cornice. Above the first-floor windows, there are recessed brick panels in a coped parapet. On the far left, there is a former throughway with a 19th-century four-panel door topped by a 3-pane transom light. The left stack is made of 17th-century brickwork and is shared with No. 53, with which it may have originally formed a pair. There is an additional stack on the ridge to the right. The interior has not been inspected.
