Architecture
Nos. 105, 106, 107 & 108 - a single plot with one house in 1614, when it was occupied by Philip Hales (boatwright). By 1633, it was in the hands of Thomas Hawes (boatwright) - remaining with this family into the 18th century. The plot underwent subdivision under the Hawes family and, by 1720, there were four houses on the site - owned by Mrs. Deborah Ashby, who had remarried into the Ashby family of mariners and merchants after the death of her husband Thomas (also a mariner). He made his will in March 1686, but has no burial recorded in the parish registers. Possibly, lost at sea. CREDIT: David Butcher
