Two C16 timber-framed cottages. (1)
3 houses. Late C16 and early C17, [No.] 44 refenestrated mid C19. (2)
C16 Box framed, crown post roof, jettied. (3)
A small three-bay house, originally jettied to the street front, dendrochronologically dated to the 14th century. It was subsequently divided into three cottages and then more recently, combined into two residences. The building is of timber-framed, jettied construction which has later been underbuilt in brick. It has a steeply pitched pantile roof with two gable and one ridge stack. The half bay is thought to have historically contained a smoke hood. Scientific dating has revealed that the building contains structural timbers of around 1330. There has been considerable discussion about whether the building was originally an open hall or was always a storeyed building. The dating of one joist to a date contemporary with the roof structure, and the lack of smoke blackening, suggest it was always floored. Reused timbers inside No.36 next door are surmised to have come from an earlier building on the same plot, possibly related to Nos 40-44. (4)
