St.Peter’s Church and Market Place

The 17th and 18th century houses (#8, #10 and #12) on Market Place just to the south of St.Peter’s church (the old “Post Office Yard”) were demolished in 1958, but some effort was made to preserve at least a semblance of the style of the original buildings in those that were built in their place.

The original part half-timbered building bore a plaque on the front bearing the date 1617. It can be seen that although the style of the buildings bears a resemblance to their predecessors, the footprint and height is very much different now.
