GV II

Formerly known as: The Plough Inn SOUTHGATE STREET.
House, formerly an inn. C15, C16 and C17 with an early C19
facade. Timber-framed, rendered and lined; old plaintiles to
main roofs; pantiles to a single-storey early C19 extension on
the south. An internal chimney-stack links the front and rear
ranges. Front range and rear wing.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. The front has 2 windows to the upper
storey, both 3-light casements with a single horizontal
glazing-bar. On the ground storey 2 canted flat-roofed bays
with small-paned sash windows; a 12-pane sash window in a
flush cased frame to the single-storey addition. A slightly
recessed central C20 door up steps in a moulded wood surround.
INTERIOR: this building may have extended originally into the
adjoining property. There is now no cellar. The rear range is
the oldest part, a solar-and-service cross-wing to a former
open hall.
On the ground storey the partition wall of the service rooms
has been removed; 2 blocked rebated doorways with 4-centred
arched heads in the inner wall; after the removal of the hall
one doorway was made into a window, also now blocked. Heavy
close-studding and unchamfered joists. A blocked former
diamond-mullioned window in the south wall on each storey and
diamond mullion housings for paired windows in the upper
gable. Crown-post roof with some evidence of alteration:
square chamfered crown-post with thin braces to collar-purlin;
solid supporting arched braces to the tie-beam; rafters
covered. Chimney-stack between the 2 ranges in Tudor brick
with 2 back-to-back hearths on the ground storey, both with
timber lintels (one replaced).
The south half of the front replaced the open hall with a
2-storey C16 jettied range: heavy spine beam with a very wide
chamfer; rear joists set flat and unchamfered; front joists a
C17 replacement, set on edge. The north half of the front is a
later C17/early C18 addition with lighter timbering, primary
bracing on the upper storey and bisected studs. The roof over
the front range is a C18 replacement with a ridge-piece.
