TL 7835 CASTLE HEDINGHAM Crown Street (West Side)
SP 1034 No 5 8/1034
GV II
House with shop. Late medieval; remodelled and extended in C17; mid/late C19 alterations. Render over timber frame, with rendered late C19 brick shop front to left; old plain tile roof to cross wing on left, gabled at front and half- hipped at rear; mid/late C19 Welsh slate roof to range on right; mid C19 brick ridge stack, and similar end stack to rear of cross wing. Plan: C15 house formed of cross wing to left of open hall; stack and floor to hall inserted in late C16/early C17; the hall range was remodelled as part of a C19 terrace in the mid/late C19. 2 storeys; 4-window range. Flat rendered arches over mid C20 two-light windows; late C19 shop front, to gable end of cross wing on left, has horned plate-glass sash and half-glazed door; C20 door to range on right. Two late C19 horned 6-pane sashes to left side wall of cross wing. C17 one-storey extension, rendered with gabled plain tile roof, to rear of cross wing. Interior: cross wing has exposed timber framing and 2-bay common-rafter roof supported by crown post, with usual longitudinal braces and curved down braces which stands on arched-braced tie beam and jowled wall posts. The rear of the cross wing has been truncated, probably in the C17. The former (late medieval) open hall retains its wall plates and jowled wall posts, with smoke-blackened crown-post roof to rear. It is probable that the open-hall range was built earlier than the cross wing.
