8 Church Street

8 Church Street is a Grade II* listed building with a stucco exterior over timber framing and a slate roof. It features a two-storey design with a hall and cross wing plan, where the right-hand wing is occupied separately at ground floor. The building has three parallel gables, which include 20th-century shop fronts and casement windows with three and four lights above. An earlier wood mullioned window can be seen internally in the right-hand gable. The gables project out over the upper windows and are adorned with bargeboards and finials.

Inside, at least four pairs of cruck beams are partially visible in the end walls and between the hall range and cross wings. Three of these crucks have steeply cambered collars with short king posts, and one of the central trusses features arch bracing to the collar. Originally, the building likely had a full-length open hall, but the roofline was altered, and it was remodeled to include 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 probably added during this remodeling, with a chamfered spine beam in the hall range. A panel dated 1681 with the initials T. over I. A. in the north gable wall may indicate the time of the floor's insertion and the construction of the cross gables.
