Along with 20, 21 and 22 are a block of 3 Grade II Listed houses built as a single development by the Powis Estate about 1740. 21 & 22 incorporated earlier fabric. A desk-top study in 2002 by Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust demonstrated that the High Street frontage was occupied by at least 1629. An excavation demonstrated evidence, with a small assemblage of medieval artefacts, that the plot may have been occupied during the 14th or 15th century, presumably forming part of a rear yard to properties fronting onto High Street. No.21, 5 floors from cellar to attic is a 1,644 sq ft 3 bedroom house. I assume 22 is a similar reflected plan.
