2-11, PROCTOR'S ROW

This terrace comprises ten houses, numbered 2 to 11, built in the early 19th century in phases. Numbers 5 to 8 appear to be the earliest, constructed with English garden wall bond brickwork on a chamfered plinth. Numbers 2 to 4 are of coursed red sandstone rubble, also on a chamfered plinth, while numbers 9 to 11 are faced with incised stucco. The roofs are primarily greenslate, with repairs using Welsh slate, except for numbers 10 and 11, which have a higher roof of Welsh slate. Brick chimney stacks are present. The houses are two storeys high, with the earlier houses being single-bay and the later ones two bays wide. C20 panelled doors are set within a variety of surrounds, some sheltered by console bracketed cornices. Most windows are 2-pane sashes in painted stone surrounds; No. 7 retains glazing bars. Numbers 10 and 11 have ground floor tripartite sash windows. Cellar windows are fitted with railings at numbers 5, 6, and 8. A large carriage passage with a quoined segmental arch connects numbers 4 and 5. The name "Proctor’s Row" originates from the Proctor's Office that was previously located within the row. The terrace is visually grouped with the nearby Church of St Mary.
