Full Description
RCHME survey of 119 and 120 High Street. The building 'is of three storeys, timber-framed and plastered, with a modern brick front; the roofs are tiled. The cellar is probably medieval, with rubble walls and heavy beams dividing it into four bays. The superstructure is perhaps of the 17th century and contains some late 16th century panelling. Condition - Good, much altered.
The house has now been demolished, although the cellar survives.
During refitting work inside a fast-food shop at 120 High Street, the opportunity arose to examine the cellar. A rudimentary sketch plan was made and several photographs taken during a brief visit. <1>
