II

A terrace of 3 houses. C16 and C17 core; early to mid C19 heightening and refronting. Timber-framed core; white brick front; slate roofs. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and cellars. 4 window range: 16-pane sashes to the ground and 1st storeys of Nos 41 and 42 and 8-pane sashes to the top storey; No.43 has sashes with a single vertical glazing-bar. The doors and windows all have stucco cornices and stub brackets. 4-panelled doors in plain reveals with plain rectangular fanlights. A small, older 2-storey part of the building projects at the rear of No.41. This has a plaintiled roof and was probably originally jettied. 12-pane sash windows in flush cased frames to the upper storey and an Edwardian canted bay to the ground storey. There is also a C19 single-storey rear wing in brick and weatherboarding. INTERIOR: cellar below the front of No.41 has walling in flint, brick and re-used stone with a timber ceiling. Remains of timber-framing on the ground and 1st storeys: a chamfered main beam in the front room and a very large cross-beam to the rear room with cut-off stops. 2 corner fireplaces have been introduced, that in the rear room with a fine C16 roll-moulded lintel, probably moved from elsewhere in the building. On the upper storey, a section of exposed studding. Stair with turned balusters, closed string, moulded handrails and square newels. There are several good early C19 raised grates. No.42 has the main C16 cross-beams of the ceiling exposed, with a double roll-moulding which is also carried across the beam in the south wall. The room is very deep and may have been jettied along the street frontage. As part of the C19 remodelling of the interior it was divided into 2 by an inserted chimney-stack. On the 1st storey a ledge marks the line of the earlier wallplate. A C17 one-and-a-half-storey rear wing is divided lengthwise between Nos 42 and 43. No.43 has a C19 internal layout corresponding to that of No.42, but no evidence of earlier remains. It stands on an older site and has a particularly fine cellar, lined with stone blocks; an archway running below the pavement is faced with Tudor brick.
