NO.7 (INCLUDES 9 AND 11)

No. 7, which includes Nos. 9 and 11, is a town-house that belonged to the Bellingham family and is now a shop. It is believed to date back to the mid-15th century, but it is certainly from the 16th century. The building was restored in 1863 for John Broadbent, who added a panel displaying the Bellingham arms and the date 1546 in the gable of the dormer window. There have been later additions and alterations. The exterior features wet-dashed rubble and a graduated slate roof with a central gabled dormer that has decoratively carved 19th-century barge-boards and stone chimneys. The building has two storeys with a cellar and three bays. The entrance includes a part-glazed door with two plate-glass windows to the left and one to the right, with cellar access below the windows. On the first floor, there are two 3-light wood-mullioned windows and one in the dormer.

Inside, there is a dog-leg closed-string staircase with turned newels that have ball finials and balusters with a moulded handrail. The two front rooms on the first floor have ornately carved fireplaces; the fireplace in the east room is likely original from the 16th century, while the west room has a 16th-century lintel but later (17th-century?) jambs, featuring the Bellingham arms. The window seat in the west room is said to be a dower chest belonging to Mary Rogers, with three carved panels inscribed with "M R 1628" around the lock. To the right of the fireplace in the west room, there is a cupboard door with 'H' hinges, above which is a panel with a cartouche and foliate supporters inscribed with "PRO JACOBVS GALLE II REX C.B." To the left of the fireplace is another cupboard with a central mahogany door featuring butterfly hinges, flanked by two 17th-century carved panels that display the Bellingham arms on a cartouche dated 1774 B. The building has heavy oak beams throughout, with some remains of moulded plaster casing on a beam in the storeroom at the rear.
