Description
2 Church Bank consists of two houses that likely represent a single construction, with exposed timber framing at the rear of No 1 indicating a building date from the late 16th century or early 17th century, while the front is probably from the late 18th century. The former cooper's shop is likely from the early 19th century, and the workshops date to the late 19th century.
The exterior features painted brick with a slate roof, which has a single gable end stack and a rear wall stack. The buildings are two storeys tall; No 1 has a two-unit plan with a centrally located doorway that includes a six-panelled door with an overlight and a shallow canopy hood above the architrave. This door is flanked by canted bay windows of late 19th-century style, featuring four-pane sash windows. There are small two-light casement windows just below the eaves. No 2 has a single unit plan with a doorway on the right side and a camber-headed window next to it, which has mullioned and transomed glazing. Below the eaves, there is a three-light casement window. The rear elevation of No 1 displays heavy square panelled box framing.
Adjoining No 1 to the right is the former cooper's shop, which is at a lower level and constructed from rough local rubble with brick dressings, all painted. It has a slate roof, a wide doorway on the left, and a three-light workshop window to the right, both with cambered heads. Below the eaves, there are two small-paned iron casement windows. The cooper's workshops are located in a wing at the rear of the shop, consisting of single-storey sheds made of light timber framing with plank cladding.
These buildings are of special interest due to their vernacular character and early origins, as well as the remarkable survival of the cooper's shop and associated workshops, which together form a notably complete group of considerable historical significance.
