Statement of Interest

It is thought that there is a datestone to the rear of No

15 Main Street, and that it retains its circular staircase. Reinstatement of traditional glazing would greatly enhance this fine 18th century building sited opposite the church of St Mary By-The-Sea. It is listed, despite late glazing and roofing, for its early date and survival of essential traditional form.
