Public house. C17 or earlier, partly refronted early C18,
extended early-mid C20. Reported to be timber-framed, cased in
English bond brick, painted to front and sides, brick ridge,
end and rear lateral stacks and tiled hipped roof.
PLAN: single-depth with rear single storey C20 extensions.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attic and basement; 8-window range.
Near-symmetrical front has a plinth, moulded plat band, and
moulded coping to parapet on 3 sides. Left of centre doorway
has a bracketed timber pediment, architrave and C20 panelled
door, and a blocked left-hand doorway with an architrave.
Mid-late C19 paired 6/6-pane sashes either side of central
doorway; the other windows are C18 6/6-pane sashes in exposed
frames, regularly spaced, with left-hand first-floor sash set
apart; 3 gabled dormers.
Rear has a central hipped stair tower, tile-hung above the
eaves, with a left-hand hip to a vestigial wing with a central
stack and sashes each side.

dogleg stair has early C19 rail, with elliptical arches each

HISTORY: asymmetrical entrance and fenestration suggest an
earlier date, which a more detailed examination might clarify.
