36A and 38 Market Hill (EHER 38434)

A pair of 18th century timber framed and rendered houses, with a gambrel plain tile 'M-shaped' roof. Each unit is two storeys, with an attic and a cellar. Internally these appear to be a handed pair of purpose-built houses, contemporary with, but differing from No.36 (EHER 38433) in internal arrangements.
