Description
Nos 1-16 on Church Street is a terrace of varied houses mainly built between 1730 and 1750. All the houses are three storeys tall but differ in height and are mostly finished in scored stucco. No 1 features two small shop windows, a panelled door with a fanlight, and three 12-paned sash windows on each upper floor. Nos 2 and 3 share a design with pilasters topped with plain leaf capitals, seven sashes on the first floor, and doorways that have plain friezes and cornices. Nos 4, 5, and 6 include small 19th-century shop windows, a segmental arched coach entrance, and eight 12-paned sash windows on the first floor. No 7 has a centrally located pilastered doorcase with a cornice, accessed by four steps, and four 12-paned sash windows on the first floor, along with pilastered ends. No 8 is narrower, featuring only two sash windows on the first floor. Nos 9 to 13 have moulded doorways and panelled doors, each accessed by three steps, with No 9 also having a rusticated basement. No 14 consists of four bays, with glazing bar sashes set within painted surrounds and an off-centre doorway approached by a flight of five steps. No 14 was previously subdivided, but the smaller part, No 14a, was re-incorporated in 1998.
