Abstract: |
Historic building recording of 1 High Street, Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire was undertaken in May 2011 as a condition of planning permission for the conversion of the building to offices and residential units. The property, which consists of a 3-storey double fronted house and a 2-storey wing with a curved front elevation, is a Grade II listed building. They were erected in the later 18th or early 19th century, the latter possibly as an infill. In the early 19th century the building was owned by Thomas Winslow and it consisted of the rooms on the street frontage. By the later 19th century both parts of the building had been extended southwards; the eastern extension comprising a 2-storey section with a single storey addition to the rear. The eastern extension was extensively remodelled in the 20th century when the single storey section was demolished, the pitched roof replaced by a flat roof and the single storey addition built on the eastern side to allow access to the internal staircase. The building, which was most recently used by Raffety Buckland Estate Agents, was formerly a chemist shop. However, for much of the 19th and into the early 20th century it belonged to the Benning family. Henry Benning was poulterer, butter merchant and corn and hay dealer between 1853 and 1883 and his widow lived in the house until the early 1920s. |
