Summary

This site was previously occupied by a late 17th- or early 18th-century building that had been extended and altered in the 19th century. It appears that this structure and a row of adjoining 17th-century houses on High Street (NHER 47410) were demolished during the 1970s, not long after they were listed Grade II.

It appears that this building was demolished soon after it was recorded in 1973. Ordnance Survey maps produced in the late 1970s show a vacant plot in the space previously occupied by 2 Marsh Lane and 57-63 High Street [1].
