2 shops with accommodation above and a house. C18 refurbished in C19. Plastered
cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble or brick stacks topped with C19 and C20
brick; slate roof.
Long building facing west onto High Street. No.14, The Stores, is on the right and
comprises a shop with a room over and at the right (southern) end a 2-room plan
house with central staircase plan. The left room has a rear lateral stack and the
right room has an end stack. No. 16 Grasshoppers, on the left (northern) end, had a
2-room plan but now they have been knocked together on the ground floor to form a
tea shop. The larger of the 2 room-spaces to the right has a rear lateral stack.
Here the stairs rise against the wall to rear of the left room. 2 storeys
throughout.
Grasshoppers has a nearly symmetrical 2-window front of C19 and C20 replacement
casement windows with glazing bars and with a central part-glazed C20 door. The
house at the right end, part of The Stores, has a balanced but not symmetrical 2-
window front of C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars and a central C19 6-panel
door (the top 2 now glazed). The Stores-shop has a projecting bay window; late C19-
early C20 entablature but the glazing replaced without glazing bars. Part-glazed
door in the centre. Above this is a small 16-pane sash window with a vallance
above. Small extra casement to right of it.
Interiors of both houses shows mostly C19 joinery detail and other features.
However the shop in The Stores and the room to right both nave axial beams with
broad neat soffit chamfers without stops. These must be C18 if not late C17. The
roof here might be C18 too. It comprises A-frame truss with iron-spiked lap-jointed
collars and x-apexes.
The Stores and Grasshoppers make up part of a group of attractive and varied
buildings which line High Street as it rises towards the Church of All Saints
(q.v.).
