2, 2A & 4 Church Street
The nearer cottages probably date from the early 17th century, with the shop windows being added at the end of the 19th century. Retail use appears to be discontinued. The Georgian house beyond, called Foxlowe has been in use as a club since 1919, but was up for sale when this view was taken. All buildings are grade II listed.

Library window detail
Above the Image of the Nicholson Institute are the carvings of four philosophers and a quote from a fifth.
From left to right we have:
Sir William Shakespeare, playwright, 1564-1616.
Sir Isaac Newton, physicist and mathematician, 1642-1721.
Sir Joshua Reynolds, artist, 1723-1792.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson, poet, 1809-1892.
The quote on the plaque above comes from Areopagitica, a prose tract written in 1644 by John Milton for a speech he gave to Parliament on unlicensed printing:
"A good book is the precious life-blood of the master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose for a life beyond life".
This window must be part of the extension added in 1900 because Tennyson was still alive when the original building was built in 1884.
