3/48 Dentist's Surgery and
No.129 High Street
9.12.55 (Barclays Bank) (Formerly
listed under High Street)
- II

Surgery, with bank at side and offices above. Built early or mid C16 as a 3-
cell house, with a parlour cross-wing at the corner of High Street.
Alterations of mid C18 and mid C19. 2 storeys and attics. Timber-framed and
plastered. Both the hall range and the cross-wing to right are jettied
towards Barrett's Lane. The service range to left has ground storey walling
of C18 red brick, retaining the jettied upper floor. Plaintiled roofs with
internal chimneys of red brick, and a gabled casement dormer. Various small-
pane sashes on casements of C19 and C20. The 3-window elevation to the High
Street was encased in gault brick (now painted) in C19. Tripartite sashes,
those at 1st storey with small panes; painted lintels on console brackets.
Central C19 entrance door with 6 fielded panels. The 1st storey has some
mid/late C18 joinery including an interesting dispensary; Samuel Alexander
established a bank at No.107 High Street in 1744 and moved to this address in
1756, and was perhaps responsible for this feature. The house was occupied in
early C18 by the Rev. Robert Uvedale, Rector of Barking. He is believed to
have introduced the Cedar of Lebanon into England.
