History

Tremadog was the creation of William Madocks (1773-1828), the first phase of which was built in the first decade of the C19 century. Nos 3-15 Church Street were added in at least 2 phases. They are not shown on the 1842 Tithe map, although in 1813 Richard Fenton saw 'the elevation of a new street that is to face the new church', which could refer to Nos 3-9. Nos 5-15 were built first, followed by No 3. The terrace is shown on the 1871 Tremadog estate plan and 1888 Ordnance Survey.

Exterior

Belongs to a group of 3-15 Church Street, Tremadog.

A 2-storey terrace of 4 houses and a shop, mainly of large roughly dressed blocks of quarried stone laid in regular courses, and renewed slate roofs on projecting eaves with stone and roughcast stacks. The details differ.

A single-fronted 2-storey terraced house of large roughly dressed blocks of quarried stone laid in regular courses, slate roof on projecting eaves and stone stack to the R. It has a replacement glazed door to the L and replacement 16-pane horned sash windows, smaller in the upper storey. A vertical joint between Nos 1 and 3 and the slightly lower ridge line of No 3 indicate their different dates. Similarly, stone courses between Nos 3 and 5 do not match, indicating that the houses are also of different dates.

Interior

Not inspected.
