ST2937SE FORE STREET 736-1/10/66 (South side) No.9
II
House, now shop. C17, refronted mid C20. Stretcher-bond brick with pantile roof. C17 single-depth plan, parallel to street, with rear left wing making L-plan. 2 storeys; one-window range. One C20 tripartite sash window to first floor, C20 shop to ground floor. INTERIOR: a heavy unsupported chamfered oak beam with central mortice spans the building inside the set-back C20 door; to the right is a deeply chamfered recess, possibly a former doorhead with mortice to a former central support. Down the centre, approx 2.5m from the door, a painted oak-panelled screen with moulded cornice and square panels alternating with horizontal panels below extends for approx 5m backwards to a late C17 doorcase. This has panelled plinths to short fluted pilasters with panelled tops; between them a moulded semicircular arch with a keystone and panelled spandrels has a cornice which steps forward above the keystone and pilasters. Above the forward end of this screen, a shallow stone corbel supports a stone lintel. Roof space not inspected but likely to be of interest.
