6 And 8, High Street

These are two buildings on High Street, originally a single house dating back to the 16th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The structure is built of roughly-coursed rubble, with a triple-Roman tile roof, three brick stacks (one rendered), and an "H" shape. The facade has two storeys and a 1:2:1 bay arrangement, with projecting gabled wings on either side. The windows have stone mullions, including 2- and 3-light ogee-moulded styles. A semi-dormer sits above the right-hand side of the central two bays, featuring a hipped roof, while a 12-pane sash window is found on the left-hand side of the first floor in a plain stone surround. A casement window is present on the first floor of the right wing, and paired sash windows with a wooden dividing mullion are on the ground floor. The ground floor of the left wing has a 20th-century casement window. Three door openings are visible; a 20th-century panelled door with transom light on the left, a recessed 20th-century half-glazed door in a chamfered stone surround with a slab hood in the centre, and a 20th-century glazed door to the right. The interior of number 8 is particularly significant, with one ground floor room featuring a moulded cross-beam ceiling. The central boss is carved as a Tudor rose, and a carved devil’s head is on the left side. A fireplace with a bolection moulded stone surround is also present. The roof structure incorporates cruck trusses.
