Chantry House Cottage

Chantry House Cottage is a building that originated in the 13th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 19th centuries. It was formerly two houses but is now subdivided into two dwellings. The structure is made of stone, rendered at the front, with a slate roof facing Church Street and pantiles on the river side.

The building has two storeys and three bays, with the right-hand bay recessed. It features a lobby-entry plan and quoins. To the right of the left-hand bay, there is a four-panel door with an overlight, surrounded by pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice. To the left of this door is a shop bay window, and to the right, there is a canted bay window with sash windows, both with friezes and cornices. To the left of the right-hand bay, seven stone steps lead up to another four-panel door, also surrounded by pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice. At the bottom of the right-hand bay, there is a board door leading to a cellar opening. Above this door and in three first-floor windows, there are four-pane sash windows with stone sills. The building has stone coping, brick end stacks, and a large ridge stack.

On the right return, there is a small outshut with a board door and steps leading down to a 13th-century pointed-arched doorway. The left return has blocked-up chamfered openings from the 17th century. The rear of the building shows stone quoins, blocked 17th-century openings, and an early 19th-century wing.

Notably, the lowest stonework to the left of the house is what remains of a medieval chantry. It shares the 13th-century pointed-arched door with Chantry Cottage. The cellar contains remnants of a large inglenook fireplace and a monk's cell.
