Description

September 1971. Grade II listed. A 16th century (possibly earlier) timber framed public house with a painted red brick front. It has a plain tile roof. The building is two storeys with an attic and is on a complex plan. There is a single-storey gabled 19th century extension in red brick on the south-east flank. The rear elevation has a 19th century two storey brick-built extension with pantiled roof. Adjoining this is a 19th century single-storey extension in partly painted red brick with a Welsh slate roof. There is a rendered 17th century rear stair tower with gabled plain tile roof. The north-west cross-wing has an adjoining single-storey extension with machine-made plain tile roof, and white weatherboarding facing the yard. There is also a 20th century conservatory. The building is a former open-hall house with a 16th century cross-wing which survives substantially intact at the north-west end. This has evidence for a former parlour door in the rear part of the partition and former front jetty. The service-end cross-wing also survives and is possibly earlier. The hall range was built as two storeys in the early-mid 17th century. <1> Note: See EHER 83281 for evidence that the building was constructed on an earlier, medieval, site.
