The Cannon Tavern

II

House, now public house. C16, altered C17 and subsequently.
Timber-framed, colourwashed pebbledash finish, old tiled roof,
hipped at west end, yellow brick chimneystack with oversailing
courses and 3 pots. 3 bay cross passage plan, with service
wing at right hand (east) end.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. First floor has 2 widely spaced nearly
flush set sash windows with exposed boxes, and glazing bars,
beneath shallow projecting weatherboards. Ground floor has 4
recessed sash windows with glazing bars, central 2 paired,
entrance doorway, against stack, has recessed C20 half-glazed
door beneath cut bracketed flat doorhood.
INTERIOR has inserted stack creating a lobby entry, within the
narrower central bay, possibly earlier smoke bay in a hall. On
the first floor cut braces to the tie-beam appear to indicate
that the first floor was a later insertion. The service wing
is in line with the hall, and has an original first floor,
with exposed studwork and evidence for two wooden mullioned
unglazed windows. The roof in this remains open to collar
purlin level, and mortices for braces now missing, indicate an
original crown post structure. C19 single storey outshoot
along Milton Road frontage, yellow brick, plastered and
roughcast with Welsh slated roof. Large late C20 rear
extension, single storey brick with sandfaced tile roof.
(Ware Tithe Map: 1845-; Ware 25" to 1 Mile. Surveyed by the
