1 Main Street

This is a shop with accommodation behind, dating back several phases of construction, and displaying a mix of 18th and 20th-century features. The front is rendered in painted stucco with a slate roof. The gable end facing the street has a renewed decorative bargeboard above a 20th-century sash window divided into four panes (4 lights), then twelve panes (12 panes), and then four panes (4 panes). This window is set between two taller blank panels. The ground floor features an early 20th-century shopfront with a projecting fascia supported by fluted console brackets. Fluted pilasters are positioned on either side. The central entrance is deeply recessed between curving plate glass shop windows, with slim shafts framing the windows and thin curved spandrel brackets below. Large plate glass windows flank the entry passage, with blind panels above and turned decorative balusters in between. The glazed front door has etched glass with the initials “WJ” for W James and a carved scrolled pediment above.

The long side range facing the churchyard appears to be the result of several building phases. The upper part has a two-window range on each side of a slight kink in the walling, followed by a lower three-window range. The upper portion has 4-12-pane windows above 3-4-pane sashes and one 16-pane window, all renewed since 1978. These are set over 3-4-pane sashes. The lower wing features 3-4-pane sashes above three small square windows. At the very end is a rubble stone outbuilding with a grouted roof, containing a casement window with a brick head in the end wall and two windows facing the churchyard.
