Description
The Old Roof Tree Inn is a public house, likely dating from the late 17th century, with some earlier elements and alterations. It is rendered and has a slate roof, forming an L-plan structure with two storeys. The main front, facing east, features four bays. The windows are mullioned with three lights and have hoods; all are rebated and chamfered except for those in the right-hand bay, which have cement reveals. The entrance, located between the first and second bays, has a chamfered surround with a battlemented lintel flanked by pilasters with incised borders. There are chimneys at both ends of the building.
On the north wall of the rear wing, there are mullioned windows with eight and three lights on the ground floor, and above them, windows with five and one light. To the far right, there is a one-light window with a modern porch to its left. Inside, the partition wall south of the main doorway contains a cruck truss. On the south side, two cruck feet, a tie beam, widely spaced studs, and a timber doorhead are visible. The upper part of the truss can be seen on the north side, with the blades terminating below the apex, either sawn off or covered by plaster, and no longer supporting any purlins. The angle of the blades indicates that this wall is part of an earlier building that was originally one storey with a loft.
