Protected Status/Designation

Full Description

PRN 38366 This house is probably early 16th century [this is probably incorrect - see below]. No. 10 is three storeys in height and rendered with a bowed window and oversailing above the door. No. 11 has two bay windows and a painted stone plaque with the arms of the Bakers Company and the inscription 'Joseph and Jane Caldecott 1715'. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1} This building was originally a single late medieval house with a hall with a chamber over (now no. 11) and a cross wing (now no. 10) with service rooms. The cross wing had timber framed walls which have been partly replaced or underbuilt in stone, whilst the hall may have always been stone. A rear range was added in the 17th century. The cross wing has a long cross passage which was originally jettied at the street end. There is also a possible original fireplace in the north gable wall, and the roof structure is original. The hall has an original chimney, and a ceiling of intersecting bracket-moulded beams. An early 17th century bay window occupies most of its street front, and there is a smaller 18th century timber framed bay window above. Beside this is a Bakers Company plaque dated 1716. {2} This house includes the remains of a rich partly timber framed house of the 15th century. The timber framing can be seen most clearly in the upper storey of the east wall of no. 10, which was a jettied two storey wing attached to hall (no. 11). The thickness of the hall walls and a large chimney stack suggest that parts of its fabric are medieval. It was largely reconstructed in the 17th century when the bay window and a richly panelled ceiling were added. The hall may originally have been open, for there is no first floor doorway into this part of the house from the cross wing. {4}
