GV II

House, later public house, empty at time of inspection;
apparently of a single building originally. Probably C18,
remodelled mid C19.
MATERIALS: painted stone ashlar front. Left return of stone
rubble with dressings of freestone and red brick. Rear wall of
squared stone rubble, except for red brick right (north) side
wall to rear wing. Slated roofs. Squared stone rubble
chimneys, with raised stone bands at the top, on side walls
and ridge of main range, those to left rendered. Red brick
chimney on rear gable of wing.
PLAN: complex. Double-depth range on right-hand side of
frontage, apparently comprising No.9 and part of No.10.
L-shaped section on left, with long rear wing extending down
Ham Place.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with garret and basement. 8-window front,
the 2 right-hand windows set in what appears from the street
to be a tall gabled cross-wing. Latter has doorway with
shallow pointed arch and plank door to left; small 3-paned
window above arch. To right is a 3-light flat headed window
with Gothic stone columns as mullions; lights contain 4-paned
sashes. Chamfered string course above ground storey. In second
storey 2 windows with shouldered heads; 6-paned sashes with
margin panes. In gable, which has a stone coping with kneelers
and trefoiled finial, a window with shallow pointed arch; 2
light wood casement with 2 panes per light.
Left-hand section (all openings boarded up) is divided into 3
bays by pilaster-strips, the strip between the 2 right-hand
bays stopping short above a doorway (probably of later date)
with patterned architrave and cornice. There is a further,
plain doorway at left-hand end. Upper storey windows, 2 per
bay, have continued sills.
Left return to Ham Place has in the ground and basement
storeys (where the site slopes sharply downhill) mostly
segmental headed windows with stone surrounds and keystones;
one basement window has been converted from a doorway. Other
windows have jambs and segmental arches of red brick. All
windows are boarded up.
Rear wall has windows with stone surrounds like those to Ham
Place; some are boarded up, but 2 have exposed 8-paned sashes.
There is a dormer gable with plain bargeboards and a pair of
2-light wood casements, the lights of 2 or 3 panes each.
INTERIOR: No.10 has several simple mid C19 chimneypieces,
including one with an ornate cast-iron grate. Boarded windows
are mostly small-paned sashes on the inside. No.9 not
inspected.
HISTORY: in 1881 (as far as can be judged from the census
return) the building was the Star Inn, run by Robert Hurley.
Prominent situation in the street, opposite the churchyard to
Church of St George (qv).
