The Thatched House on Churchgate is a locally listed building. It was rebuilt in 1899, on the site of a 17th century timber-framed building of the same name. The earlier timber-framed building was known as The Thatched House, and was an inn or tavern from the late 18th century. In the early 21st century the pub was renowned as a music venue but has been closed since 2009. The pub sign and other notices have disappeared over the years apart from a lamp and flag Image It seems to have been recently sold and is awaiting "Re-development".

The Rectory, which overlooks the Parish Church is considered to be the finest example of Georgian architecture in the town centre, having been erected for the Reverend Samuel Stead in 1744, replacing an earlier parsonage. It was used as an Army Billet during WWII. It was the home to Rectors and Bishops until 1965 but the house is now part of the Premier Lodge Hotel Group.

The building was first mentioned in 1744 as belonging to surgeon Dr.Briscall's practice, which gave free consultations and was effectively the forerunner to Stockport infirmary. The present building dates from the 19th century. Until recently the pub was a popular music venue but is currently closed. Image
