No.55, to centre, is one-window range with a door to the left and C19 three-light casements with small panes to each floor. No.56, to the right (east), is 2-window range with C20 two-light casements to the first floor and left of the central door; to the right of it are double planked doors not wide enough for a carriage. INTERIORS not inspected. The cottages back onto the garden of St Mary's Hall, in North Street; one wall, attached to the front-left corner, approx 5m high, encloses the garden. The wall is Flemish-bond brick with burnt headers with rubblestone above and Ham Hill stone coping. In the centre of it, in the High Street range is a segmental arch to a large C19 door with strap hinges and a lower door to its left with a concrete lintel; these are rear access to houses in Court Barton. The wall curves to the north-east, into North Street for approx 40m, to an arch over a gate to St Mary's Hall. Another Flemish-bond brick wall is attached to the rear-left corner and runs southward to meet the north-east corner of Abbot's Court (qv).
