History


Quoting directly from the listed buildings register - Bromyard is a small market town that

was first recorded in circa 840. No. 1 Cruxwell Street is situated on one of the principal

thoroughfares in the town, which runs east from the vicarage and church. It was known as

Corkeswalle Vicus in the late C13 and recorded as Croxewalle Streate in 1575. To the west,

where it meets Old Road, it was and was known as Sheep Street in the early C20. This

central area of the town to the south of the church and around the market place appears to

have been fully built up by the early C17, though some of the plots have been re-developed

since that time.

No. 1 Cruxwell Street has origins in the C17. It appears it was originally a rectangular two

and-a-half-storey dwelling which was then extended to the rear with perpendicular gabled

ranges, and was refronted with brick in the C18. There are records referring to a public

house on the site as early as 1669 and it remained in use as such until the late-C20 before

being converted to domestic use.
