11 High Street (EHER 38314)

A 15th/16th century timber framed and rendered building with 19th century alterations, now offices. The building is three-storey, on a right-angle plan and appear to have been, originally, one build with Nos 13 and 13A (EHER 38316), which it matches exactly in depth. It may have been a carriageway with room above, or a three-storey gate tower which gave access to the rear of Nos 13 and 13A. Historically the site has associations with the Baude family.

September 1971. Grade II listed. A 15th century timber framed and rendered building with 19th century alterations, now offices. The building is three-storey, on a right-angle plan and there is a long two-storey early 19th century rear range. The roof is covered in plain tile. The front has plain rendered parapet and painted moulded-timber cornice. The second floor is partly false with the roof of Nos 13 & 13A (EHER 38316), which it abuts to the east, running behind a 'screen wall'. The ground floor has a continuous decorative shopfront with moulded details and a central canted bay window. A window to the left of the bay is possibly a remnant of an old door opening; and the present door opening is to the right of the bay window. There is a large chimney stack rising out of the rear wing near the junction with the front range. It is probably the remains of a three-storey gate tower formerly giving access to rear of the complex at Nos 13 and 13A (EHER 38316). Internally, the second floor reveals the exposed timber framing of two unequal bays. The south-west wall has curved wall-bracing on the inside. The first floor has some framing exposed showing that the north-east part formerly formed part of the adjoining building (Nos 13 and 13A). This three-storey structure appears to have been of one build with Nos 13 and 13A, which it matches exactly in depth. <1> See photos <2>. Historically the site has associations with the Baude family. It is of two and a half storeys and seems to be a 16th century carriageway, with a room over (now heavily disguised). <3>
