SO 3288 BISHOP'S CASTLE C.P. HIGH STREET (east side)

12/54 No. 28 including stores and garage to rear GV II Probably former stabling, now shop, stores and garage. Mid-C17 with partial mid- to late-C19 remodelling and mid- to late-C20 refacing to front. Timber framed, weatherboarded and mid- to late-C19 brick-faced to north, rendered to rear and C20 cement-rendered to front; slate and corrugated iron roofs. 6 framed bays. Framing: square panels with short corner braces (concealed). One storey and attic. Toothed brick eaves cornice to north-west and 2 late-C19 gabled eaves dormers to north- west with 2-light leaded casements. Mid- to late-C20 two-light casement above exposed wallplate in gable to front; 2 mid- to late-C20 plate glass shop windows flanking central mid- to late-C19 half-glazed panelled door. Late-C19 coursed limestone rubble lean-to at rear with corrugated asbestos roof. Interior: double purlin roof; queen strut trusses with V-struts above collars; main frame-posts chamfered and stopped up to moulded capitals below junctions with rails and main transverse floor beams; short chamfered and stopped posts with moulded capitals and short corner braces supporting main transverse floor beams in centre. It is possible that this building was formerly at least partly open- fronted to the north (see chamfered posts with no evidence of mortises below moulded capitals). One possible explanation would be that the building was once stabling and carriage accommodation.
