Description
Survey by RCHME of 39 High Street. Building with 'two storeys with attics partly timber-framed; the roofs are tiled. It was built early in the 16th century but has an 18th- century block on the street front. At the back is a projecting wing with remains of elaborate pargeting of c.1650 on the E face, consisting of floral scrolls and the initials R.C.D. Inside the building the cellars have medieval rubble walls and a pointed niche on the E side; the floor above has heavy beams and posts with curved brackets. On the first floor one room has original and elaborately moulded ceiling-beams and joists. In the wing is a 16th century window with moulded jambs and mullion and diamond -shaped intermediate mullions. The staircase landing has a painted dado of late 17th century date, representing balisters and handrail. Condition- Good.' (Now demolished)
