SILVERTON FORE STREET (east side), SS 90 SE Silverton 7/249 - No. 10 and 12 5.4.66 GV II* House forming part of a row. John R L Thorp (reference below) has established that nos. 6-12 Fore Street were built together as part of the same medieval scheme, and it is likely that the entire row (Nos.2-12) was built at the same time. C15 or earlier. Plastered cob with stone footings, under thatched roof. 3-room, through-passage plan, the lower end to the right of the passage. Both hall and service room are heated by inserted lateral external front stacks, one with 2 set offs, both with brick shafts. 2-storeys. Front: 3-window range; first floor, 3-light casement windows 2 of them with 8-leaded panes per light; no. 12 has a 12-light shop window under pentice slate roof; C19 3- light casement windows to ground floor. Interior: described in detail by J R L Thorpe, 'Two Hall Houses in a Late Medieval Terrace: 8-12, Fore Street, Silverton', Proc. Devon Archaeological Society, 40 (1982), 171-80. The features noted by him there are still extant, namely the remains of the 2 through-passage plank and muntin screens, evidence of jettying of the service end into the hall, the inserted hall fireplace with deep ogee moulding and pyramid stops, and the medieval smoke-blackened roof, jointed crucks, arched braced over hall, 1 with a boss carved with vine-leaf decoration, and wind braces. Medieval urban terrace developments such as this are extremely rare.
