129 is a Grade II* Listed 16th century timber framed house. The first owner, John Incent, Dean of Saint Paul's, founded Berkhamsted Grammar School. 127 is a Grade II Listed house of 1832 probably incorporating elements of an older building. Carved with FM 1832 it is possibly the property of upholsterer Frederick Miller who established his business in the town between 1822 and 1826 and is listed in High Street in 1841.
