Seemingly of the same build as nos 3-6 Cheap Street (qv) but to a significantly different design. May be the work of Major Charles Davis as the adjoining Nos 9 and 10 (qv). There may be survival of earlier fabric within these buildings. It is situated in an important and long-established main shopping street, which takes its name from the old English for Market, and which was widened and re-fronted under Baldwin's direction in c. 1790.
Nos. 7 and 8 Cheap Street is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* Architectural interest: it is a good example of a well-proportioned late-C19 town building which may incorporate some early-C18 fabric
* Group value: it forms an important part of the design of a group of buildings which lie on a significant street within the conservation area and world heritage site of the City of Bath
