Description

This is a house, formerly an inn, built around 1740, with a rear wing added circa 1880. It is constructed of squared and tooled stone with dressings, and has slate roofs. The front elevation is two storeys and features four irregular bays. Raised quoins are visible and bay three has a porch with a renewed door and small casements in the returns, topped by a moulded cornice and parapet. Later 19th-century sash windows are set within older raised stone surrounds. Three small rooflights are present. The gables display moulded kneelers and overlapped slate coping, along with stepped and corniced end stacks with conjoined shafts. The left return has a six-pane casement and a blocked window within a raised stone surround, above which is a small attic window with a similar surround and a projecting stone bracket beneath.

A two-storey rear wing is set back to the left and comprises two sections. The right section is one bay wide, with 19th-century sash windows, a matching gable, and stack. The left section has three slightly irregular bays, featuring a French window and late 19th-century sash windows. First-floor windows are set within gabled half-dormers.

Inside, the rear kitchen retains an 18th-century fireplace and an in-situ dog wheel.

The inn was closed around 1846 when Sir Walter Trevelyan, who later became the first president of the United Kingdom Alliance for the Total Suppression of the Liquor Traffic, inherited the family estates. The original sign, which depicted portraits of Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots and hung on the stone bracket, is preserved at Wallington Hall.
