Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: Nos 14 and 15 (formerly listed as No 15 (Constantines) (Westminster Bank)). House, now shop and house. About 1600, altered in the 19th century. RCHM 53. Grade II*. <1> House and shop on east side of Market Hill was built late in the 16th century. At the back is an original window with moulded frame and mullion. Inside the building are three original doors of moulded battens and an original brick fireplace with a segmental head. <2> 2013. Field survey. Property is in multi-occupation with shops on the ground floor, and flats on the first and attic floors. Cores were taken and it was dated to the 17th century, with an earlier element to the rear. The north-west corner of the building has been cut back and therefore makes it difficult to define the original length, with the roof also being altered and the exterior upgraded during the late 18th century. Suggested that the ground floor room of the rear wing was used as a single storey building associated with the market, and the house would have made a significant statement in the street with the latest features such as glazed windows. <3> See also: <4>
