7-9 Hoel y Llan (Church Street)

Location

A terraced house fronting the street S of Market Square.

History

Tremadog was the creation of William Madocks (1773-1828), the first phase of which was built in the first decade of the C19 century. Nos 3-15 Church Street were added in at least 2 phases. They are not shown on the 1842 Tithe map, although in 1813 Richard Fenton saw 'the elevation of a new street that is to face the new church', which could refer to Nos 3-9. Nos 5-15 were built first, followed by No 3. The terrace is shown on the 1871 Tremadog estate plan and 1888 Ordnance Survey. No 7-9 was probably originally a shop and house.

Exterior

Belongs to a group of 3-15 Church Street, Tremadog.

A 2-storey terrace of 4 houses and a shop, mainly of large roughly dressed blocks of quarried stone laid in regular courses, and renewed slate roofs on projecting eaves with stone and roughcast stacks. The details differ.

A 2-storey 3-window terraced house of large dressed blocks of quarried stone laid in regular courses, large slate-stone lintels, slate roof on projecting eaves and stone end stacks. Its entrance on the L side has a replacement half-glazed door and overlight. Windows are all replacement 2-pane horned sashes, not all in original openings. The central window in the lower storey was originally a (shop) doorway and the R-hand has a wider earlier opening, probably a shop window. In the upper storey the central window is blind and rendered.

Interior

Not inspected.

Reason for designation

Listed for its special interest as one of a row of houses, using local stone, retaining C19 character in an important position close to the church, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Tremadog.
