9 Church Street

9 Church Street is a two-storey building with a hall and cross wing plan, dating from the 17th century. The exterior features stucco over timber framing and a slate roof. The right-hand wing is in separate occupation at ground floor level. The building has three parallel gables, which include 20th-century shop fronts and casement windows with three and four lights above. An earlier wooden mullioned window can be seen internally in the right-hand gable. The gables are jettied above the upper windows and have bargeboards with finials.

Inside, at least four pairs of cruck trusses are partially visible in the end walls and in the divisions between the hall range and the cross wings. Three of these trusses have steeply cambered collars with short king posts, and one features arch bracing to the collar. Originally, the building appears to have had a full-length open hall, but the roofline was altered during a remodelling that added three parallel gabled ranges over the hall and cross wings. These are framed with square panelling and feature queen post and strut timbering in the gable apexes. The upper floor was likely inserted during this remodelling, with a chamfered spine beam in the hall range. A panel dated 1681, bearing the initials T. over I. A., is located in the north gable wall and may refer to the insertion of the floor and the construction of the cross gables.
