Description
Survey by RCHME of No's 45-47 High Street. The building 'is of three storeys, timber framed and plastered; the roofs are tiled. The cellars below the house are of the 14th century but the house itself was rebuilt probably in the 16th century and much altered early in the 18th century. The wing at the back is possibly of the 17th century. The front has an 18th century eaves-cornice. At the back the upper storey projects and has a moulded bressumer and carved brackets. The E face of the back wing has remains of good 17th century pargetting with strapwork and foliage in panels. Inside the building the cellar has rubble walls and a cross-wall about 12ft back from the street frontage. In the cross-wall is a mid 14th century doorway with widely chamfered jambs and segmental pointed arch with a moulded label and one head-stop with a liripipe hood; further E is a window of the same date and of a single pointed light; W of the doorway is a pointed niche. The shop on the W has some 16th century moulded ceiling beams. Condition-Good.
