GV II
A pair of houses; No.5 converted into flats. Early C19 with later additions. White brick with slate roofs; the north end wall is in random flint with red brick and stone blocks. Built on the site of the medieval Hospital of St Petronilla. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; 4 window range: 12-pane sashes to the 1st storey, 6-pane to the 2nd, all in cased frames with plain reveals. On the ground storey, No.5 has a single 12-pane sash and No.6 a later C19 bay with a flat lead-covered roof, moulded cornice and 3 small-paned sash windows. Entrance doors with fanlights and plain semicircular arched brick surrounds had large early Victorian Corinthian porticoes added: fluted columns and acanthus leaf decoration to the capitals of No.5; plain capitals to No.6. No.6 also has a large late Victorian extension at the rear. INTERIOR: No.5 was extensively modernised during its conversion to flats. No.6 retains many early C19 features, including a characteristic stair with stick balusters and wreathed handrail. An ornate plaster cornice in the entrance hall. The original rear wall, prior to the later extension, is very thick and has another thick wall extending westwards from it with a wide semicircular arch. Both walls are rendered, but appear to be of flint or stone: they may well be remains from the church of St Petronilla's Hospital, which an illustration of 1781 indicates as the only surviving stone building on the site at that date.
