Commemorative plaque 10703

This blue commemorative plaque records: 18-20 Sheep Street. These two properties, originally one Wealden house, date from the 15th century. The upper floor of no. 18 is faced with 'mathematical tiles', designed to resemble bricks, thus avoiding the tax levied on them. Recorded plaque organisation: Petersfield Heritage.

These properties in Sheep Street are significant examples of 15th-century Wealden houses, showcasing medieval architectural styles; the use of 'mathematical tiles' on no. 18 demonstrates historical methods to circumvent taxation laws regarding brick usage.
