2. A small C15-C16 timber framed building altered in the C17 and later. Originally it was a butcher's shop and then became incorporated into the Neptune Inn. (Now Nos 86 and 88 form one tenement). The front is earlier than that of No 86 but much altered. 2 storeys and attics. The upper storey is jettied and supported on curved brackets with the remains of a moulded capital and shaft. There is an embattled wall plate. One window range, mullioned and transomed windows with lattice leaded lights. (3 lights on the ground storey and 6 lights on the 1st storey). At the rear a gallery wing extends to the south with a jettied upper storey and exposed timber-framing on the ground storey. Originally this gallery was part of No 90 but is now incorporated in No 88, and forms a fine courtyard at the rear. The upper storey has a long range of mullioned windows, the centre section of which is original and the outer sections are restored, with moulded sills. The ground storey has a doorway with a 4 centred arch with carved spandrels. Roof tiled, with one gabled dormer on the front.
