About the building
Alterations to add no 2 St John’s Street to No 1 Flannel Street were made in about 1881. Thought to have been built around 1850.It was claimed by A Jackson that gravestones in the cellar were evidence that the graveyard of St John’s stretched across the High Street, but R Horsington disputes this theory and states that there was always a High Street and that the graveyard was beyond the town wall behind the shops now on the High Street.
Recent history
From 1970 onwards, trading as H J Edwards, Butcher’s.
In 2016 the High Street frontage of H J Edwards has been
refurbished with windows and door put in.
