73, Church Street

73 Church Street is a house in a row, which also includes a restaurant. It likely dates from the early to mid 16th century and has a heavily restored 20th-century front. The building features a timber frame with arch bracing, brickwork, tile roofs, and a brick stack. The front has twin gables and a long back wing, with entry from an alley on the right side, leading under the house. It has two storeys and a basement, with a two-windowed facade. All windows are three-light 20th-century casements, and there is a central 20th-century door for the restaurant, while the main entry to the house is from the alley. A large stack on the left has been raised in the 20th century. The long back wing has a brick ground floor and box framing above, featuring one gabled dormer and an entry to the kitchen.

Inside, much of the timber framing is retained and exposed on the ground floor, including heavy framed and braced party walls and broad early joists on a transverse beam. Set back from the underbuilt frontage is a beam with a wave mould, propped at the center with a moulded member likely from elsewhere in the structure. In the back room, there are chamfered and stopped ceiling joists spanning approximately 3 meters to heavy chamfered transverse beams. A lobby to the right includes a part-glazed interior door from the 18th century and another 18th-century door leading to the alley. The fireplace on the left has been restructured. A thin 17th-century plank door leads to the basement, which contains some brick vaulted sections. A winder stair by the fireplace rises through both storeys, and the roof features heavy framed members, including cambered ties.
