GV II
A row of 3 houses. C13 core with C17 and later alterations; early C19 fronts to Nos 37 and 38; modernised exterior to No.39. Timber-framed and rendered; slate roofs. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. The centre of the range has 2 16-pane sashes in flush cased frames on the upper storey with a blank between, and 2 large-paned sashes on the ground storey, that on the right a former shop window. A raised stucco band runs between the storeys. Paired doors to Nos 37 and 38 are C20 replacements in early C19 moulded architraves with plain cornice hoods. The 2 outer ends of the row have upper windows at a lower level than the centre, a 16-pane sash on the left with a wide carriage entrance underneath and a large-paned C20 sash on the right above a C20 door. A single-storey extension to the north stretches round the corner. INTERIOR: Nos 37 and 38 contain the fragmentary remains of a C13 aisled house with a 2-bay open hall and a storied end to the south of it. One of the main beams which supported the upper floor of the storeyed end is visible within the carriage entrance of No.37. The open hall has lost both aisles and none of its structure is exposed in No.37, which was damaged by fire a few years ago, but part of both of the arcade posts of the open truss were exposed in No.38 during restoration in 1990. Both posts have moulded capitals and each retains one of the straight braces rising from above the capital. On the upper storey a small section of each arcade plate survives. There were no trenches for passing braces. The aisles and roof were removed in the C17 and the outer walls raised: the earlier tie-beam level is visible in the partition wall between Nos 38 and 39. Some of the C13 rafters were re-used in a new rear partition wall. At the same time a 2nd storied end was added on the north: this now forms the 2-storey part of No.39 with an exposed timber ceiling on the ground storey. The range was again re-roofed at a shallow pitch in the C19.
