Grade II Listed building that has a date stone in the chimney for 1692 by Gilbert and Ann Jones. It was extensively remodelled around 1830 but had been the Coach and Horses Inn from 1765 reportedly until 1906 but I can't find it in 1895 and 1901 directories. In 1906 it became an estate agents' office and was later used by the Royal Oak Hotel. Recently Halls Estate Agents, it is currently (2022) up for sale or rent described as Old Coach Chambers, a total of 1,572 sq ft of office space. However the second floor is an occupied 2 bedroom flat. It looks like Church Street was previously Bull Street. A search of my directories for the Coach & Horses produced; 1835 Jane Griffiths, Bull Street; 1844 Edward Jones, Bull Street; 1859-1868 George Adolphus Waidson.
