50-54 High Street
Former coaching inn. The pitch of its roof and the size of the first-floor windows indicate a 17th-century building recast in the 19th century when the classical doorway was added. Smaller-windowed extension westwards above pend, with later outsize dormers.

No 50 High Street was once an inn. A three-storeyed building, it has a grey slate roof and raised margins and a lintel course above its second-floor windows, reminiscent of its mid eighteenth-century construction.
