Description

The Marquis of Granby Public House is a mid-19th century establishment located on Front Street in Framwellgate Moor. It features painted ashlar render with a plinth and painted ashlar dressings, topped by a Welsh slate roof with red ridge tiles. The building is two storeys high and has five irregular bays.

The public house front consists of three right bays, which are adorned with four pairs of pilasters that have fluted capitals. These pilasters support an entablature featuring jewelled panels in the frieze. The central pairs of pilasters frame double six-panel doors with an overlight above. On either side of these doors are wood mullioned-and-transomed 20th-century three-light windows, along with shaped panels in the stall risers and between the outer pilasters. The first bay contains a wide six-pane sash window, while the first-floor sashes vary in shape and are of a late-19th century style, each having projecting stone sills.

There is an old wrought iron sign bracket at the right end of the building and a 20th-century wrought iron sign bracket located between the third and fourth bays. The roof is hipped on the left side and features a rendered chimney below the ridge at the front right end, along with a rear chimney at the left end. A 20th-century rear addition is noted but is not of interest.
