59 Market Place ‘The Malthouse’ is a double-pile brick building of two storeys and attic, plus cellar. It shares its tiled roof with No 61; both are listed together, although separate dwellings on long burgage plots. It has a double-height bay and 18th C. windows as well as keystones, shallow pilasters and plat bands, painted white.  No measured survey, but description. Its history is associated with that of No. 57 and its large maltings, shown on the 1878 O.S. map. The small, timber-framed ‘malthouse’ ( or hop kiln?) in its back garden and separately described, is a remnant of this industry.
