Aka Harford House. A stately Palladian villa, 1760, standing aloof from the street. Probably the work of local architect-builder, Thomas Paty. It has been treated rather disrespectfully - the asymmetry of the wings would make Palladio turn in his grave. Five-bay pedimented centre, rusticated ground floor, pedimented doorcase. Grade II listed. Now flats I think. Graffiti at lower left reads, "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty".
