Town Farm
This former farmhouse appears quite out of place in its essentially urban setting, facing the former market square on Fore Street with shops and inns close by. In this respect, its historic interest is considerable, while visually its rough-rendered elevation, sash windows and slated roof contribute positively towards the Area’s character. It looks 19th century, but its use, and the evidence of a substantial stone stack, suggests its origins may be much earlier.
