C19 butcher's shop window comprising 2 adjacent top-hung
casements each of 8 lights, with handmade glass, and on the
outside a long top-hung panelled shutter above, and a similar
bottom-hung shutter below, plain halved door (formerly of
No.23) blocked internally, and a moulded 6-panel door, the top
2 panels glazed (No.21), all under a tiled canopy with moulded
eaves, supported on C20 posts. To right (part of No.19), one
early C19 sash of 8+8 lights. First floor, 2 similar sashes.
All these sashes have C20 external shutters with club-shaped
perforations and imitation hinges. Roof of main range hipped
at left. Front elevation roughcast, remainder weatherboarded.

original studs.
INTERIOR: the left ground-floor room, formerly the shop, has a
chamfered transverse beam with convex stops and exposed plain
joists of vertical section; C19 hand-driven bone grinder
attached to front wall. The room to rear of it has many
wrought-iron meat-hooks attached to the joists. The rear left
wing was built originally as one storey, raised to 2 storeys
in C19, with primary straight bracing in both phases. Straight
stair inside main door, with at the top an early C19
semi-elliptical arch with unusual carved stops. In the middle
rear wing, formerly the slaughterhouse, a heavy iron ring is

for securing beasts to be stunned. The shop window is in
exceptionally unaltered condition, a rare feature meriting
special care.
