Nos 26 and 27 High Street were probably constructed after one of the fires Crediton suffered during the later 18th century. Fixtures and fittings of this date such as doors and staircases survived. There is clear evidence in the fabric of the building and roof structure that Nos 26 and 27 were constructed not only together, but also as part of a larger row of buildings, possibly extending from 22-28 High Street.
