Two terraces of pale stone, up the hill from the High Street. Residential.
Church Row runs along the hill above the High Street, from All Hallows at its western end towards the sea wall. Eight terraced cottages stand on each side. They are Victorian, all in the same pale stone, with narrow front gardens behind low walls.
The first half of the street is cobbled. The second half is not. No record explains this.
Church Row is residential. The houses are private and none is open to the public. Residents speak of a good end, meaning the end where the gutters function reliably and the gardens are kept in order.
Nothing is held here. Traffic is light: a car may pass at nine in the evening, and another a few minutes later, and after that nothing. The streetlamp at the end of the road throws a pale circle on the pavement, and the wind comes up off the sea.

What the locals say
“Cobbled for the first half, and then it simply isn’t. This bothers Colonel Withers considerably.”
