Village inn, apparently mid C19, perhaps rebuilding an earlier house. The 1839 Tithe Map shows a cottage on the site owned by the Williamsfield estate, occupied by David Lewis, but the Plough Inn is recorded by the 1860s. The facade has been altered since 1907 when a photograph shows the ground floor windows smaller, their heads below the level of the door head. Thomas Bowen of the Plough Inn, d 1871 aged 72, is buried in the churchyard.
Inn, whitewashed rubble stone with slate close-eaved roof and roughcast end stacks, larger to right. Two-storey, three-window range of camber-headed horned sashes with marginal glazing bars, centre flat-headed door with overlight. First floor openings have stone voussoirs, ground floor have brick, as windows were lengthened in early C20. 2 storey wing to rear with various small C20 extensions.

N end wall is canted to line of road and has big C20 window in former cart-entry to right, loft window in gable. Rear has stone outside steps to loft door.
