Description
The Market Tavern is a public house built in 1851 by P.C. Hardwick. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a roof made of large Welsh slates. The building showcases a combination of Perpendicular and Tudor architectural styles and stands three storeys high with an attic, comprising one bay. The ground floor has been altered and includes a four-panelled door on the right, set in a hollow-chamfered reveal with rounded corners. Above the door is a stone Tudor-arched window with two lights, which is topped by a head-stopped drip mould. The upper floors feature stone-mullioned and transomed three-light windows, along with a two-light window in a gabled half-dormer that has moulded kneelers. The steeply-pitched roof is crowned by a large coped polygonal chimney.
