House, now shops. Late C18 or early C19. Although built as a
single house on a corner, the following description will break
down according to the street addresses for the sake of
clarity. Stucco scored to imitate ashlaring. Roof of tile,
partly obscured by parapet.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with dormers. 3-window range to each
elevation. All windows are flat arched. C19 shop front to
ground floor of Nos 1 and 2; the first-floor windows have 6 x
6 sashes of original design and the dormer above 3 x 3 sashes
of original design. The shop front on the east-facing
elevation continues around the corner and ground floor of
No.3. Left-hand window on this north-facing elevation, is near
the peak of the roof gable. The next 2 windows have 12 x 12
sliding sash windows of original design. To the lower right of
these, near the party wall and just above the fascia of the
shop front is a single, shallow segmental bay with 6 x 6
sashes of original design. The distribution of elements at
this party wall is very irregular, and corresponds to an
interior level change.
INTERIOR: the entire upper floor has been opened to the roof
and thrown together to form a shopping arcade.
This building forms a most important group with Nos 4-12,
22-32, 36-41 and 43-53 Meeting House Lane (qv), which is the
centre of the section of the Old Town known as The Lanes.
