Weylands

Weylands is a 17th-century timber-framed house that was refronted in the 18th century using chequered red and grey brickwork. The house is three storeys high and has a tiled gabled roof hidden behind a parapet. The parapet features ogee curves at each end, reminiscent of Dutch gables. There are four flush sash windows with glazing bars, each with a cambered relieving arch. Moulded bands define the eaves and floor levels, and a cement-rendered plinth sits at the base. A half-glazed door on the left side has a cut bracketed hood. A similar door on the right side is framed by slim pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice. The building served initially as a parish workhouse and later as Chesham Grammar School. Weylands forms a group with Nos. 33 to 37 on the same side of the street.
