LUTTERWORTH BELL STREET SP5484 1323-0/9/88 (East side) 11/01/55 The Shambles Public House (Formerly Listed as: BELL STREET Nos.10 AND 12) GV II
House, now public house. Early C16, restored in later C20. Large square-panelled timber-framing with some curved braces above, exposed with plaster infilling. Thatched roof. Range of four units in series, The roof over two (possibly three) of these units is smoke-blackened even though the partitions between them are integral and rise through from ground to roof apex; this suggests that the building originally comprised various self-contained units, possibly workshops; 2 storeys with stack to left end of ridge. Irregular fenestration of three windows on first floor and four on ground floor, all C20 wooden casements. Boarded door to right of centre. Extensive later C20 extensions to rear. Interior: ground floor much altered; framed partitions survive as does the side-purlin roof with curved wind braces, and queen posts over collar. At the time of inspection smoke-blackened thatch still survived on the underside of the roof, along with sooted principals and rafters.
