Type and Period

Description

Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import. Numbers 66 and 68, High Street, Great Baddow. Originally a 15th/16th century timber-framed and plastered house, much altered in the 17th and 18th centuries and some 19th century alterations. (Sited from OS 25" 1972). <1> <2> Although now all one shop, the building is still effectively sub-divided into two properties. It is of two storeys, plastered under a tile roof; the north-east front preserves a jetty at first floor level. There is a central red brick chimney stack of ?16th century date. All fenestration visible from the road is modern. <3> Photographed <4> Information from NRHE record 511554 Hills Chantry: House built around 1449, altered 17th century. <5> Note: The NRHE records this building named Hills Chantry separately to 66 and 68 High Street but maps it in the same location. We have been unable to find a separate building by the name of Hills Chantry so suspect it to be part of 66 and 68 High Street.
