80, High Street

No 80 High Street is a shop with storage above, likely built in 1764, with some alterations made in the mid-20th century. The building is rendered and has a 20th-century pantile roof. It stands three storeys tall and features three first-floor windows.

On the left side, there is a segmental carriage arch with a sign reading 'Whitley Yard', and a three-light 20th-century casement window on the first and second floors. The right side has a 20th-century shop front with plate-glass windows at the ground level, and two segmental-headed sash windows with glazing bars in flush wood architraves on the first and second floors. Between the first-floor windows, there is a notice that says 'Cromwell House'. The building has end and central ridge stacks and is included for its group value.

Local tradition holds that Oliver Cromwell stayed at a house on this site during the siege of the Castle. When the house was rebuilt, the floorboards of the room above the arch were kept. However, upon examination during a resurvey, these boards were found to be 19th-century replacements, now covered by linoleum. A drawing made around 1970 by local artist Arnold Walker depicts the rooms above the archway with small bay windows.
