Details
PEMBROKE STREET 1. 1485 (North Side) No 38 SP 5106 SW 8/562 12.1.54. II* GV 2. House. RCHM 145. C17 in origin. 3-storeyed stuccoed rubble and timber- framed with cellars, an overhang at 1st and 2nd floors and 2 gables. There is a red tile roof. In the ground floor is a modern double sash window and a plain doorway. In the 1st floor are 2 C18 sash windows in moulded wood frames and in the 2nd floor are 2 modern 3-light casement windows. The back remains in its original rubble with a stone slate roof and has 2 gables rising at eaves level, one lighting the staircase and the other an attic room; between them and below the eaves is an original single-light moulded stone framed window. Interior: RCHM p 174 a. Includes some C17 panelling the design of which is thought to be unique in Oxford; it "has mitred mouldings at the meeting of the styles and rails of the panels, which are sunk; within these are lesser panels which are raised and moulded. The top surface of each rail is splayed only, not moulded, a survival of an earlier practice. This in the only example of this particular type of transitional panelling found in an old house in the City. That in No 28 Holywell is somewhat later in date". (Bunney and Pearce). There is a winding oak staircase. History. This and No 39 probably forms the house "lately built" in 1690. See "Hosp of St John. Oxf Hist Soc II, 233 and III, 375.
Nos 36 to 39 (consec) form a group.
