A residence in Long Street is the former home of Dr Joseph Needham, dated 1737. This well-appointed building is Grade II* listed, although the stencil on the door perhaps is a more recent addition.

Long Street reaches as far as the house at centre left. The road leading left past that house is St John's Street with High Street to the right of it. Joseph Needham was a local surgeon and 'man-midwife'. He seems to be famous as much for being the grandfather of Admiral Joseph Needham Tayler as for his skills with a scalpel and delivering babies http://www.trustfordevizes.info/documents/Trust%20News/112.pdf pdf
