Caveat:

The history of ownership and occupation of the properties at the southern end of the east side of High Street (modern numbers 66-96) is very speculative.
Records are sketchy, and confusing. This page is the current "best attempt" to clarify the history of these properties, but much further work still needs to be done. It is possible that the historic boundaries do not match the modern ones.
