10-14, Church Street

Nos 10-14 on Church Street is a house that has been divided, dating from the late medieval period and altered over time. The structure is timber-framed with random rubble masonry walls that are rendered, and No 12 features applied half-timbering over the exposed masonry on the ground floor. The roofs are covered with bitumen and slate, with the right return elevation being slate hung, and there are brick stacks. The building is three storeys on one side and two storeys on the other, arranged in a layout of 2:1:1:1 bays. No 14 has sash windows with glazing bars and a 20th-century shopfront, while there are 20th-century garage doors and casement windows to the right. Nos 10 and 12 have modern doors. The garage is said to contain smoke-blackened jointed-cruck roof trusses, with two 2-centred arch-headed openings visible between the garage and No 12. This area likely served as the service end of a hall house that extended east into No 14, where chamfered beams may indicate alterations from the 16th to 17th centuries. No 12 also features a large 16th-century fireplace with moulded stone jambs and a moulded wooden lintel.
