Bold moulded brick cornice and parapet. Old tile roof. 5 windows to upper part the outer 2nd floor pair are panels. The windows have moulded brick cills on aprons with brackets terminating in small guttae. The central window has a gauged brick head shaped on soffit. All windows have architrave frames, and deep heads of fine gauged rubber brickwork. The ground floor windows have segmental heads. 6-panel central door with architrave surround mid doorcase of fluted Ionic pilasters, entablature with curved frieze, modillioned cornice and pediment. Archway to yard to left hand of earlier date. All the listed buildings in St Mary's Square on the south side of Parson's Fee form a group with No 1 St Mary's Row and No 6 Pebble Lane (B1).
On the NE side in St Mary's Square, only No 14 (the Derby Arms until the 1980s) stands out from the simpler C18 facades. Its handsome early C18 front is quite obviously just a tall screen that hides a lower, older, though much altered building. Vitreous brick and red brick dressings, five bays, two-and-a-half storeys. Ground-floor windows segment-headed, upper windows with characteristic aprons, bold cornice and parapet. Doorway with pediment on Ionic pilasters (B2).
