History

End house of row of three timber-framed houses, probably late C17 or early C18, the back walls rebuilt in red brick in late C18 to early C19. The houses are marked on the 1833 map as owned by Charles Gardiner Humphreys of Bank House and on 1839 tithe map this house is occupied by Thomas Davies, with bakehouse. It may be the bakery, New Road, run by Sarah Davies in 1858-9 directory, and the bakery, Chirbury Road, run by Richard Davies in 1880. In C20 it was the bakery of Mr Williams. An old photograph shows more regular square framing of four by eleven bays, c. 1910, the front wall of No 4 since rebuilt in brick and the windows both altered and in different positions. Shown on OS map of 1975 as Cross Lanes.
