Shop and house, early or mid C16 with early C19 alterations. 3-cell cross-

jettied towards the High Street. Slated roof, the rear slope and wing are
plaintiled. Axial chimney of gault brick. C19 sashes with flat arches of
gauged brick, flush frames and small panes. Two C19 entrance doors (the house
