Marycourt

Marycourt is a house that has been converted into part of a shopping arcade. It dates back to the early 17th century and features a timber-frame construction with plaster. The stone party walls are corbelled out to support a first-floor jetty, and the roof is covered with zig-zag pantiles. The building has a single-depth range that runs parallel to the street and consists of two storeys with a three-window range. The timberwork is intricately carved, although much of it has been restored. The first floor has three six-light scratch-moulded mullioned and transomed windows. There is enriched early 17th-century carving with designs of vine leaves, patera, and grapes on the bressumer and eaves fascia, while other timber elements are mostly from the late 19th century.

Inside, the space has been transformed into a 20th-century shopping mall with a left-of-centre entrance, and there are no visible features of interest remaining. Historically, a photograph from 1865 shows that the ground floor was made of coursed limestone rubble, featuring sash windows on the left and a five-light stone-mullioned window in a canted bay to the right of the original door position. It is noted that this house is said to be where Judge Jeffries stayed during the trials at the "Bloody Assize."
