TIVERTON

SS9512 CHURCH STREET, Tiverton 848-1/6/169 (West side) Nos.2-10 (Even)

GV II

Uniform terrace of 5 houses extending from Heathcoat Square to Wellbrook Street, forming part of the same block as No.14 Wellbrook Street (qv). Probably built in 1875-6, following the pattern of the St Paul Street houses of the late 1850s. MATERIALS: pinkish-yellow brick laid in Flemish bond with low, chamfered plinth of squared stone blocks; all openings, except for a round-arched passage entrance at the right-hand end of No.6, have flat gauged arches. Windows have cast-iron sills. Slated roofs. Chimneys on the party-walls, of same brick as the fronts, the caps with projecting courses forming entablatures; all have been heightened in red brick. Good spiked chimneypots. PLAN: double-fronted, with variations at the 2 corner houses (Nos 2 & 10), and at No.6, which has the open passage running through it; the doorway to No.2 faces the entrance to Heathcoat Square. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. 3-window fronts with centre doorway; No.2 also has a fourth window facing Church Street, while at Nos 6 & 10 the doorway is in the left-hand bay, No.10 having its third window round the corner in Wellbrook Street. Doorways have deep, wood-panelled reveals and soffits with incised Greek decoration; 3-paned fanlights. 4-panelled doors, the 2 lower panels flush, with cast-iron knockers and letterboxes: Nos 8 & 10 have been altered and have C20 flush wooden doors. Round-arched passage-way has good iron gate at rear; hinges for a similar-sized gate remain at the front. All windows have 8-paned sashes. The corners of the block are rounded and recessed, the end bay to the right (part of No.2) also being slightly splayed. Deeply-projecting, moulded eaves-cornice. Rainwater pipes are recessed into the brickwork. Stone plinth contains a series of patterned, cast-iron ventilator-grilles, and there is a similar, larger grille at the right-hand end of the ground storey at No.2. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORY: these were Heathcoat-built houses, closely similar to the Heathcoat houses at Nos 1-7 (odd) and 12-24 (even) Church Street. They are sketched in as a later addition on Heathcoat's estate atlas of 1844 and seem likely to have been the `6 cottages Church Street and Wellbrook' built for Sir John Heathcoat-Amory in 1875-6, at the same time as the Heathcoat Hall. These form part of a well-preserved group of artisan housing in Church Street, built for the workers at the Heathcoat family's silk and lace mills. Of interest for their external completeness as part of a planned group, including Anglican church, institute and school.
