Background
History
The houses were constructed on mostly open land opposite the southern walls of the castle, between 1805 and 1822, by an unknown builder or builders probably in two stages. The houses each have a single front bow window, with rendered walls and slate roofs. Architectural historian John Newman describes the terrace as "a charming row of three-storey cottages... [that] climbs the hill... These create quite a ripple, as each two-bay cottage has a bow - a few are missing at the upper end." The terrace was given Grade II* listed building status on 14 March 1955, as "a virtually complete and picturesque Georgian terrace".
