September 1971. Grade II listed. A 16th and early 17th century timber framed and rendered shop and cottage. It has plain tile roof, and is two storeys with a cross wing at the south-east end (with gable end to the street). The remaining roof, parallel to the road, is continuous with Nos 140 (EHER 38365) and 142 (EHER 38366). The cross-wing has barge-boards. The parallel range has a 20th century shop front with fascia, blind box, display window and a glazed door. The cross-wing is of three bays with jowled storey posts; probably a parlour/solar wing, the rear bay on first floor is partitioned from the two-bay front chamber. Wall studs are closer on the exposed south-east elevation and there seem to have been a double window with central stud on the first floor of front elevation. The first floor of the adjoining block, on former the hall site, has a blocked 17th century arched fireplace. The rear lean-to has an early 19th century door. <1> See photos <2>.
