Description


PARISH OF ECKINGTON CHURCH STREET
SK 4379
11/78
No 35 Church Street
II
House, formerly a public meeting room or guildhall. C16 or
earlier, converted to a dwelling in the late C16, and extended
in mid C19. Restored 1986/7. Coursed coal measures sandstone
with quoins, plain gables, ridge, side wall and gable brick
stacks, Welsh and stone slated roofs. Two storeys, four bays,
formerly with a random pattern of C19 openings with sash and
casement windows, beneath plain timber lintels. Within the
stone walls are quoined reveals of earlier window openings. All
four walls at first floor level, and at least the south gable at
ground floor level have surviving elements of substantial timber
mullioned windows. The principal survivals are found in the
south gable, where the head and cill members of a 10-light
ground floor mullion and transom window and a 6-light first
floor window survive, with sockets for diamond mullions, and
holes for timber saddlebars. These windows, together with at
least four other first floor windows including that to the
earlier north gable, which was later obscured by the C19 bay
added at the north end, were elements within a three bay range.
A substantial stack was inserted into the central bay at its
northern end in the late C16. The interior retains massive oak
spine beams and substantial oak joists, back to back hearths,
that to the south with a cambered lintel supported by side
corbels integral with the hearth quoins. The first floor
hearths of similar design, but smaller. The roof structure is
re-assembled, but comprises queen strut trusses supporting
single through purlins. The tie beams are slightly cambered.
There are no windbraces but many oak rafters survive. The
evidence of the window openings to the first floor and the
substantial construction of the floor suggests the use of the
first floor as an assembly room of some form, possibly a
guildhall.
