33 and 33A Chapel Street, Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria: Investigation, Survey and Assessment of Significance
Author(s): Hilary Gould
Nos. 33 and 33A Chapel Street are a range of buildings which stand on the east side of Chapel Street, close to its junction with Low Wiend, on the western side of Appleby-in-Westmorland. They were probably built in the early 19th century, and certainly before 1837, as offices and accommodation for a firm of attorneys, in which the locally prominent Heelis family were partners. Nos. 33 and 33A were built against the rear of a row of houses on the south side of Low Wiend which, apart from the rear wall of that against which no. 33 abutted, were demolished in the second half of the 20th century. No. 33 is a Grade II*-listed (NHLE 1145588), early 19th-century example of private, purpose-built offices, and no. 33A is a Grade II-listed (NHLE 1457818) house. No. 33 contains a unified, virtually intact, and extensive classically-derived decorative scheme. Nos. 33 and 33A continued in the ownership of successive members of the Heelis family until the sale of part of no. 33 in 1991 and no. 33A in December 2017.
