(Formerly Listed as:
MEETING HOUSE LANE

GV II
Houses, now shops and offices. Late C18 or early C19. Stucco
scored to imitate ashlaring. Roofs of Nos 45 and 46 of tile,
those of Nos 47 and 48 not visible due to the extreme
narrowness of the street.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys. For the purpose of description the group
can be broken down into pairs formed by Nos 45 and 46, and Nos
47 and 48. Each pair has a 3-window range. The ground floor on
Nos 45 and 46 is taken up by a single shop which has been much
rebuilt in the late C20 according to an early C19 design. One
shop each to Nos 47 and 48, the former with a C19 sliding sash
and entablature, the latter with the entablature only. All
ground-floor openings are flat arched, while all windows above
are camber arched with projecting sills. The first-floor
windows have 6 x 6 sashes of an original C19 design; the
second-floor 3 x 6. The centre range of each pair is blocked,
suggesting that each pair was originally a single house. Boxed
and guttered eaves to Nos 45 and 46; guttered eaves to Nos 47
and 48. There is an iron sign standard of C19 date attached to
the front wall of Nos 45 and 46.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
These buildings form a most important group with Nos 1-12,
23-32, 36-41, 43-44, and 49-53 Meeting House Lane (qv), which
is the centre of the section of the Old Town known as the
Lanes.
