5 Church Street

5 Church Street is a well-preserved building from the 18th century, with a tablet inscribed "Briscoe J.M. (John and Mary) 1742," although the structure was later raised in height. The exterior is constructed of brick and topped with a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall, featuring a seven-window range on the first floor and four windows on the upper floor. The ground floor shop fronts are restorations or replicas from the mid to late 19th century, each with a doorway on the left and a window alongside, divided vertically into four panes with a single central transom. Slender pilasters support a continuous fascia. There is a single earlier window between the shop fronts and an inserted double doorway to the right. Traces of the original string course can be seen above the central window. The first floor has 12-pane flush-framed sash windows with cambered brick heads, while the upper floor features 9-pane sashes with timber lintels beneath a moulded eaves cornice.

Inside, the upper storey retains reused roof timbers from the original two-storeyed building of 1742. This building is an important part of a group of commercial and domestic properties on Church Street.
