The Coach House

The Coach House (formerly 10, 11 and 12 High Street)

Like The Lord Nelson Inn, a building was shown here on the Saxton map of 1599.

The present building dates partly from the mid-18th and early 19th centuries, and was originally a coach house and stables.

The dwelling has an L-shape plan. No. 10 (the original coach house) has a coach house door at the rear. Both 10 and 11 have 4 light windows downstairs and 3-light windows upstairs. No. 12 was originally a cottage and is at right angles to No. 10, and connected to No. 11.

Number 10 is the oldest part, and contains a wonderful example of Cruck Beams [[1]].

House(s) Ownership

Kevin Murrell & Stephen Parker bought the coach house and associated land in March 2023 from Barry Dyson.

Barry & Margaret Dyson bought the house in March 1991 from Gordon & Barbara Ackroyd. Shortly later the Dysons purchased the land to the south of the house and the land between the house and the Lord Nelson Inn from Mr & Mrs Wormauld.

To be completed...

Mr B J Davenport at 12 High St in 1979

Edson Patrick declared in 1974 that he owned 8,9,10,11 and 12 High Street and the yard known locally as Patrick's Yard.

The Coach House is listed Grade II, for two reasons:

1. The original coach house entrance way, now fully glazed but clearly visible, and
2. A particularly fine example of Cruck Beams [[2]] in the attic.
