9-21 High Street, 1886

Undigested Scots revival block in proper hôtel manner enlivened by an intricate skyline of dormer windows, crowstepped gables and turrets with ball finials atop. Singularly detailed turret at western end - corbelled from a chamfered corner up into square and then up into round; decorative only, apparently no room within. In front, St Michael's Well, 1720, the best of the town's wells. The well-head is surmounted by a figure of the Archangel Michael with the town's arms. It is inscribed comfortingly: 1720. Saint Michael is kinde to straingers.
