GV II

House. Early C15 and late C16, altered in C20. Timber-framed, plastered and weatherboarded, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. Early C15 2-bay range aligned approximately E-W, gable end to Church Street, with two C18 stacks to S, against Blacksmith's Alley. The roads meet at an obtuse angle, and the building is constructed to the same angle at the E end, right-angled at the W end. Late C16 3-bay parallel and adjacent range to N, aligned to Church Street at the E end, projecting one 1:2 bays beyond the earlier range at the E, and formerly jettied along this part, now underbuilt; axial stack at E end of mid bay. 2 storeys. C18/19 single-storey lean-to at W end of longer range of red brick in Flemish bond and weatherboards, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. All windows are C20 metal casements. Plain boarded door in C20 lean-to porch in rear angle. The Church Street elevation is bricked up to first-floor level, and the whole elevation plastered. The elevation of the shorter range to Blacksmith's Alley is plastered, with red brick stacks; both elevations to the yard at rear are weatherboarded, and the N elevation. The S range is of only 3m span, with jowled posts, chamfered joists of horizontal section exposed in the E bay, and an underbuilt jetty to Church Street. In the elevation to Blacksmith's Alley, between the stacks, on the first floor, is a framed original window with mortices for diamond mullions 76mm square, with a rebate in the wallplate for a former shutter. INTERIOR: roof difficult to access, reported to be rebuilt. The N range has in the W bay a floor of C20 softwood joists, plastered to the soffits, and a C20 grate. The 2 eastern bays are undivided at both storeys, with chamfered binding and bridging joists with lamb's tongue stops, plain joists of vertical section, and evidence of the former jetty to the S. Clasped purlin roof with some original wattle and daub remaining in the E gable and the studded partition to W of it; treble-pegged chamfered arched braces to the collar between the other 2 bays, and originally no tie-beam, indicating that it was formerly open to the roof, with C17 inserted ceiling. The wide wood-burning hearth in the middle bay has an early C16 moulded beam without stops as a mantel beam, possibly from the Augustinian Priory dissolved in 1527; the brickwork of the hearth has been wholly renewed in the C20; inside the stack are several bricks engraved with various initials and the date 1804, moved by the present owner from the wall which underbuilds the S jetty. On the first floor, in the W and S walls, are formerly glazed windows with ovolo mullions with moulded glazing fillets, and diamond saddle bars, dating from the early C17, but not in their original positions, reported to be moved from other parts of the S wall, but themselves insertions.
