TL6001 CHURCH STREET 723-1/15/13 (West side) 20/02/76 Shaw House (Formerly Listed as: BRENTWOOD CHURCH STREET, Blackmore (West side) Shaw House)
GV II
House. Late medieval, altered in C18 and C20. Timber-framed, plastered and weatherboarded, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. Externally this appears to comprise 2 houses, of which the left is of 2 storeys, the roof axis parallel to the street, with an internal stack in front of the ridge, and the right of one storey with attics, also parallel with the street. C20 single-storey extension to rear of right end. 3-window range of C20 casements. C20 door. The side walls of the left house are weatherboarded. INTERIOR: has structural evidence of a cross-wing at the left end, and a main range to right of it. In the C18 an extension has been added to the rear of the left house, the walls have been raised, and it has been re-roofed on the present axis. Heavy studding, jointed and pegged, is exposed internally in the left wall of the cross-wing. The front left corner post is present, but mostly concealed in plaster. 2 posts of the front wall have been scarfed about one metre below the C18 wallplate, which has a face-halved and bladed scarf. Some original framing of the rear wall remains. Wide wood-burning hearth, the mantel beam formed from a reused C15 richly moulded timber (bowtell in great casement, mutilated at the top, possibly from the dissolved Blackmore Priory), with C20 grate facing to right. The lower part of the stack is C16 or early C17, the upper part rebuilt in the C18. In the right house some original framing is exposed in the rear wall, with girts jointed and double-pegged to a bay post. C17 chamfered axial beam with 3 well-cut lamb's tongue stops, the fourth lost in sapwood. All joists have been replaced. Both houses have much reused medieval timber. Included for group value.
