2 large probably C19 sign boards flanking left-hand ground-floor windows.
The right-hand part seems to have been built at a slightly different
date from the rest (see break in plat bands). Probably C19 painted rubble
lean-to addition to right with large 3 light window to front. Left-hand
return front: windows; gabled dormers, first-floor cross-casements,
and ground-floor windows altered with probably late C19 canted bays;
central ground floor sign board. One-storey late C19 addition to left
with integral brick end stack and 3-light segmental-headed casement to
front. 2 gabled wings in angle at rear. Interior not inspected.
An inn on this site is first mentioned in 1643 when it was owned by the
Morris family. Thomas Wilde bought it in 1712 and is said to have enlarged
it by incorporating it with a nearby house at right angles to the north and
producing the present plan. V.C.H., Vol. VIII, p.227.
