May have been ancillary to Boswell House (18th Century, formerly Stafford House) at one time. Possible stabling.
Tucked behind the main frontage, intrinsic in nature to the historic form and development of the Old Town core.
More information would be useful on the age and history of the Mews and the buildings within it.
The Mews is a yard with a narrow access from the High Street containing three buildings:
- The Coach House, 1, Boswell Mews. Brick construction, two floors, upper floor within the pitched clay tiled roof structure. Hayloft type door at upper floor level.
- The Barn, 2, Boswell Mews. Single storey with slate pitched roof and dormer. Also with hayloft type door at upper level.
- A small storage or workshop type building of brick with a clay tiled pitched roof.
The Mews is part cobbled and part brick surfaced.
This small space behind the High Street frontage is typical of a traditional village heart and important to the character of the Old Town. The retained brick, flint cobble, tile, slate and wood finishes all contribute to its value to the conservation area.
Justifications for local listing are its history, group value and contribution to the Old Town Conservation Area.
