12, Market Place

12 Market Place is a house with a shop, currently functioning as a shop, which has been adapted in the 20th century from a 15th-century wing of the Bishop's Eye gatehouse. It features Doulting ashlar stonework and a triple roll clay tile roof that has an abutment to the north and a coped gable to the south, along with ashlar chimney stacks.

The exterior consists of two storeys and an attic, arranged in three bays. It has a plinth, shallow buttresses at the ends and between the bays on the ground floor, a parapet string with gargoyles, and a battlemented parapet. The windows are two-light with transoms and mullions; the lower windows have segmental arched lights set in a four-centre arched recess, while the upper windows feature diamond leaded panes. The entrance is located in the centre bay and consists of a pair of boarded doors with two-pane fanlights that match the top elements of the flanking windows.

The rear elevation also has a parapet string with gargoyles and a plain parapet. The first-floor windows are single-light with trefoil-cusped designs and square, diamond-stop labels. Between these windows is a carved panel featuring an episcopal rebus. There are two 20th-century flat-roofed dormers behind the parapet, each with two-light small-pane casement windows.

Inside, the ground floor has been opened up into a single space and features a wide four-centred opening to the rear, some early 18th-century panelling, and a door with bolection-moulded panels. There are four large beams with stepped stops and a deep moulded cornice. A four-centred archway leads to the adjoining gateway on the left. A 20th-century splat baluster staircase rises to a landing that has a four-centred arch leading to a deep embrasure. The first floor has a similar small light on the rear wall, a griffon frieze, and a heavy moulded cornice. The four-bay roof features very broad chamfered arch braces and two chamfered and stopped purlins, with two dormer windows inserted in the rear slope.
