St Thomas's Square, Salisbury

The late-18th century building at the far end of the neatly-tended hedge is the west front of 27, Market Place, Cheese Market (which is off to the left of shot).

 

A Grade II listed structure, Historic England describes it as a three-storey building featuring an ashlar stone ground floor with brick upper part and a projecting plinth. It features flat eaves and a cornice with coupled brackets.

 

On the ground floor is an early 19th-century shop off to the left. The modern door is to the right of centre with panelled reveals and reeded surround, and a doorcase of reeded pilasters, with reeded necking, a small broken cornice and open pediment. It also has wreath and swag ornament in the tympanum.

 

To the right of the image is part of the graveyard of St Thomas's Church, which I featured in an image a couple of days ago.

 

To the left of the image, fronting the path stretching off to the corner of the square are more Grade II listed structures, 2 and 4, St Thomas's Square.

 

Historic England describes them as 17th/early-18th century in origin, refronted in the late-18th/early-19th centuries. The two storey structure is stuccoed, with a hipped old tile roof. There are flat eaves with paired flat brackets. There are five windows, one blind, on the first floor, featuring recessed sashes, and intact glazing bars. There is a modern shop front to the left side on ground floor. It includes a 19th-century four-panel door with rectangular fanlight, in a surround of Doric pilasters and entablature. To the right is an early 19th-century double shop front, with nine pane windows flanking an altered door.

 

I took this because I like the colours and lines.
