NT 0040 7707 The former St Michael's Bakery comprises three stone buildings set back and perpendicular to the High Street frontage. In advance of refurbishment works, a desk-based assessment and building appraisal were undertaken in March 2003. Of the three buildings, the earliest is possibly 17th century; the other two buildings are likely to be late 18th or early 19th century. A test pit was also excavated in the garden area to the rear of the site.

A watching brief was subsequently undertaken on ground disturbance in the garden area where a possible medieval cobbled surface had been identified during the test pitting. No archaeologically significant features or deposits were identified.
