The Court House

The Court House is a building that likely dates back to the late medieval period and features a cruck-framed, half-timbered hall house design. It was storeyed and refaced in stone in 1628, and in the 19th century, it received applied and painted timber decoration on the front. Some modern alterations have occurred due to its conversion into two properties. An 1890 view shows the building as it appears today, although it lacked the right-hand gable at that time. The central gable is dated '1628 IOWEN.PUGH IOUXOR', and it once served as the Mayor's house.

The structure is single storey with an attic and has a steep, undulating slate roof. It features stone gable parapets and chimney stacks with weathercoursing at the ends and opposite the entry to No 106, which is the original main door. The building has three gables, with the right one being modern, and includes 3 and 4-light mullion and transom windows. Below each gable are cross frame windows, all of which have diamond leaded glazing. The roof extends down to the extreme left over a lean-to that has a small window, and there is a lean-to square bay below the central gable. There are paired boarded doors to the right of centre. The timber decoration is primarily close studded and herringbone, applied in a manner that lacks archaeological precision. The lean-to on the left gable end has been modernised at the rear and features whitewashed render.

The building has a lobby entry plan. No 106 includes simple stop-chamfered beams and deep window recesses. It now consists of two ground floor rooms, each with fireplaces; the one on the right is blocked, while the left retains a fine 17th-century plaster overmantel depicting a basket of fruit surrounded by strapwork, which does not symmetrically fit the overmantel space. The main beam in this room is deeply chamfered. Upstairs, two cruck trusses are visible, featuring twin overlapping purlins and pegged and lapped joints.
