TEWKESBURY

SO8932 CHURCH STREET 859-1/6/116 (North side) 04/03/52 No.59

GV II

House and shop in row. C16 with early C19 front. Set gable to street, Flemish bond brickwork front on timber-framed body including cross gable and deep back wing, which originally formed a back block to the front range. 2 storeys and attic, 1-windowed. 2-light small-pane casement to stone cill in gable, above C20 replacement, both these to brick voussoirs. At ground floor, under full-width timber fascia, an 8-pane fixed shop window, with to left part-glazed door, all in rendered wall. Brick stack to right of ridge, behind transverse ridge. In return to Chandlers Court at left is a narrow gabled dormer unit with C18 lead-paned casement, and a back wing with large panel timber-framing. INTERIOR: 2 rooms to front, each with heavy transverse chamfered beam with stepped run-out stops; that to front room carried on later figure corbels. Winder stair. Central stack rebuilt internally. The back block, although not fully accessible, appears to be a rare survival of post-medieval urban planning: it is not clear how it was linked to the front range, although houses of the "gallery and back-block" type have survived in Devon towns such as Totnes and Barnstaple.
