11 High Street

11 High Street is a late 16th-century small town house, with a separate dwelling (No 11a) added to the rear in the early 19th century. A pentice front was added to No 11 while it was still a house, likely in the early 19th century; it is now a shop with a modern shop front.

The building is a low, two-storey, single unit structure that is timber framed with a slate roof. The first floor features square panelled box framing, which is also visible in the side passage. A complex roll-moulded bressumer can be seen over the passage entrance and within the shop, indicating that the building was originally jettied. The lean-to shop front has a slate roof and includes a central door flanked by small-paned shop windows, which are recent insertions. Above, there is a renewed casement window. The rear wing (No 11a) likely originally consisted of two small dwellings made of brick and stone, each two storeys high, with a doorway and a flanking casement window (one of which has been renewed), both featuring cambered brick heads.

No 11 is a well-preserved example of a small timber-framed town house and is of significant interest for its representation of a typical pattern of urban plot development, with later cottages forming a rear wing as infill on the burgage plot.
