Priory House

Priory House consists of two houses that were originally part of a single building, dating from the early to mid-15th century. They were subdivided in the late 18th or early 19th century and underwent alterations in the 20th century. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble, likely with a timber-framed first floor that is rendered at the front, topped with plain-tile roofs and brick ridge stacks. The building is two stories high and features a five-window range.

No. 21, known as Priory House, has a six-panel door with panelled reveals and a moulded wood surround, flanked by 12-pane windows. There are also three-light casement windows on the first floor to the left and right, alongside a three-light leaded original window with square wood mullions. No. 22 features a six-panel door on the far left with a straight hood supported by shaped brackets, a 12-pane sash window to the right on the ground floor, and two-light sliding sash windows on the first floor.

Inside, both houses have chamfered cross beam ceilings on the ground floor. The first floors are timber-framed and were previously open to the roof. No. 21 includes a small stone fireplace in the first-floor room, featuring a stop-chamfered, cambered bressumer. The roof has three bays with tie beams to the principals, short arch-braces to the ties, large collars, a possible second tier of collars, and two tiers of trenched purlins, with the lower tier wind-braced. No. 22 has a small stone cellar with a spine beam and reused joists, some of which are roll-moulded and hollow-chamfered with scoop stops. It has a similar two-bay roof. There is an original stud partition between No. 22 and the adjacent house, No. 23. Both houses were constructed as one and may have included part or all of No. 23.
