No 7 (Priors House) And No 7A (Dental Surgery)

No 7 (Priors House) and No 7A (Dental Surgery) is a house that has been partly modified to serve as a shop and surgery. It dates back to the 15th century and is constructed from local stone rubble, rendered on the north elevation, with ashlar dressings. The building features a plain clay tiled roof with plain gables, although the 20th-century gable on the north elevation has bargeboards and there are brick chimney stacks.

The structure has an 'L'-plan layout. The north elevation has two storeys and two bays: bay 1, dating from around 1920, includes a three-light shop window with a fascia above and a large casement window that projects into the gable. Bays 2 and 4 have 20th-century entrances, while bay 3 features another three-light shop window. Above bays 2, 3, and 4 are 12-pane sash windows. To the right, there is an open pitched clay pantile roof that forms a covered way. At the rear, No 7A has casement windows and a 19th-century six-flush-panel door beneath a segmental hood on brackets. No 7 extends southward, with its west elevation consisting of six bays. Bay 1 has a two-light mullioned window with 15th-century tracery, and on the return, two lights are visible from what may have been a larger window, featuring cusped instead of plain arched lights, alongside a mixture of sash and casement windows.

Inside, the shop, which was formerly the medieval solar, is rather plain but includes a blocked window from a former spiral staircase in the southeast corner and a four-centre moulded arch leading to the stairway in the southwest corner. Above is a good flat-headed moulded fireplace and an arch-braced true cruck roof. The surgery, which was the medieval hall, boasts a fine ceiling with heavily moulded beams and panels, and above it is a roof with a variety of arch-braced trusses, possibly crucks. The rear wing contains several features, including winding stone stairs with a medieval window.

Historically, the property was known as Rousewell House in 1558, became The Parsonage in 1789, and was referred to as Devonshire House in the early 20th century. Some building works to No 7A were recorded in 1803, and extensions to No 7 were made in 1855.
