No uniformity about this row of Georgian houses. The one nearest the camera has Gothic details, the next along has fine wrought-iron work, Cheltenham style - and Ionic columns at second-floor level. The rather plain white-painted building at the far end of the row can also be seen in: Image In the right foreground, notice what appear to be steps built up from kerb-stones. This feature is in fact a very local flood-defence measure, intended to prevent flooding of these properties along Church Street. You go up the four steps, then down two to the footway on the other side.
