Houses, now shops. Late C18 or early C19. Stucco scored to
imitate ashlaring on Nos 22, 23 and 24, as well as on right
return of Nos 25 and main elevation of No.26; mathematical
tiles, painted, to first floor of No.25.
EXTERIOR: Nos 22, 23 and 26 three storeys; No.25 two storeys
and dormer; No.24 three storeys and dormer. Nos 22-24 one
window each; Nos 25 and 26 two windows each. No.24 has a
gambrel roof of tile, No.25 also of tile; the rest are
obscured by the narrowness of the street at this point. No.22
much rebuilt in the late C20, from which time dates the shop
front and windows, the latter according to a late C19 design.
No.23 has remnants of a C19 shop front. Nos 24 and 25 have
nearly identical late C19 shop fronts, much rebuilt in the
late C20; the projecting cornice and console brackets appear
to be original. All windows are flat arched and many have
sashes of original design: No.23 8 x 8 to first floor and 4 x
8 to the second; No.24 6 x 6 to first and second floors; No.25
right-hand window with 8 x 8 sashes and a narrow architrave.
No.26 has been much rebuilt in the late C20, its shop front to
an early C19 design. Guttered eaves to all but No.26 which is
topped by a parapet. The return of No.26 has been recently
rebuilt according to a C19 design.
These buildings form a most important group with Nos 1-12,
27-41, and 43-53 Meeting House Lane (qv), which is the centre
of the section of the Old Town known as The Lanes.
