No. 186
TQ 5946 NW 3/117

II GV

2.
A late medieval possible open hall altered in C19. No. 186 consists of 4
different sections. The front elevation has a Mid C19 false front of 2
storeys and attics roughcast. Gable front with fleur de lys finial and
kneelers. 1 double sash set in cambered head lining. C19 shopfront.
Behind this is a portion of 2 storeys timber framed probably late C15 to
early C16. The left side elevation is now faced with C19 brickwork and
the right side elevation is tile-hung. Steeply pitched tiled roof. There
is a later probably C17 massive brick chimney stack and later firegraters.
Curved braces and an original wooden mullioned window. The roof is not
visible as a ceiling has been inserted. To the rear of this section is a
portion of 1 storey, late C15 to early C16 timber-framing but enclosed in
brick in the C19. This has a steeply pitched tiled roof with 2 crown
posts. These have curved braces on one side only. Probably in the C17
a massive red brick chimney stack was inserted but this falls short of the
roof line. To the rear of this is a C19 stable of red brick with tiled
roof.

Nos. 184, 184A, 184B, 186 and 188 form a group.
