August 1986. Grade II listed. A pair of houses with a shop to the right, built on a 16th century or earlier frame with 18th century features facing the High Street. The buildings are timber framed and plastered with red plain tiled roofs that are hipped to the left and right, and have two red brick chimney sacks. They are two-storey with a 2:2:1 window range on the first floor and a 2:2 range to the ground floor, with a 19th or 20th century shop front to the right. Internally, the buildings have a complex plan. The building to the right, No. 12, has a medieval timber frame with visible arch brace to the first floor tie beam, there may be a crown post above this tie, but no access to the roof was possible at the time of re-survey. There is a solid brace to the ground floor bridging joist, jowled storey posts, splat balusters and a moulded handrail to first floor landing. <1> See photo <2>.
