High Street (east): No. 65

This narrow cottage (now a shop) occupies a small plot probably severed from No. 67 next door. The rough rubble, probably collected from fields in the 17th century, is strengthened by larger stone quoins. The change in the stonework above the first-floor window shows that the front has been raised to form a low parapet, probably c.1735 to link it with the Dolphin Inn next door. The façade was rendered to create a smooth surface, but this was removed in the 20th century. The large-paned first-floor sash-window is 19th-century, and the shopfront 20th-century.
