108 and 110 High Street
Image: © Jo and Steve Turner Taken: 8 Apr 1996
Grade II* Listed 17th century 2740 sq. ft. house and former inn. Carved bressummer carries the date 1649. In 2013 and 2017 it was The Gables Bed and Breakfast but planning was submitted to return to residential only in 2021. The only information I can find is 'Swan & Commercial' in High Street with no other information. The 1884 and 1892 OS map appears to show it with a near central carriageway and to the rear 'Malthouse' but it is not clear what building this refers to (other inns are specifically labelled). Directories 1839 to 1912 make no mention of a Swan in High Street and in 1912 it shows 108 and 110 as private residents but numbering cannot be relied upon. Built as two homes, if it was an inn, it is probably in the 18th century. 2017 see Image
