Quaintways, 17 Market Place, Folkingham
This highly regarded teashop, at time of the photograph, had a notice in the window that said it was closed until further notice and as can be seen is up for sale. Quaintways website is also down. Formerly a house and shop it is 18th century Grade II Listed, retaining the 18th century shop front. I don't know if it was built by him but it was formerly the premises of Josiah Stredder (1731-1819) and his son Josiah (1756-1827) who were bakers here from 1759 until about 1820. It next became the home for over a century of the blacksmith with the fitting surname Hammer, Ishmael (d.1855); his sons Jeremiah (d.1888), Frederick (d.1909) and William (d.1926), who made the churchyard gates in 1897. Quaintways proprietors, Irene and John Batt, came in 1983.
