TEWKESBURY

SO8933 HIGH STREET 859-1/5/235 (East side) 04/03/52 Nos.75 AND 76

GV II

Pair of houses in row. C16, C20 reconstructed front. Timber-frame with plaster panels, brickwork, tile roofs. A jettied side-entry parallel-plan street range, covering Summers Court to the right, has a stack central to the rear eaves, then a deep cross-gabled rear wing with steep roofs. 2 storeys and attic, 1+1-windowed. Gabled dormers with 2-light small-pane casements above small 2-light at first floor, and multi-pane bowed oriels at ground floor, all these C20 replacements. To left or right of the bows a part-glazed C20 door. The entrance to the court has remains of a 4-centred head to a doorway, with a jetty bracket to its left; a similar bracket is built-in at the left-hand end. To the left of the throughway part of the wall is in light framing, with part in concrete blockwork. To the right is heavy framing, presumably a part of No.77 (qv) adjoining. At the rear is a large square brick stack with a dentilled capping. The long wing, in 2 storeys, is cross-gabled; the end gable is rendered, but that facing S has horizontal boarding, possibly on timber-framing. The steep roof pitches suggest an early date. INTERIOR not inspected.
