Description

The Three Fishes Inn, formerly known as the Three Fishes Hotel, is a public house dating from the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of pebbledashed rubble and features a modern tile roof. The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays, each with sashed windows that have plain stone surrounds. Between the first and second bays, there is a door with a plain stone surround. Above this door are three re-set medieval carved stones: the lower stone displays three blank cinquefoiled ogee arches in relief with panel tracery above; the middle stone features three carved fishes arranged in a triangular pattern; and the upper stone showcases a shield with a lion, all within a cinquefoiled ogee arch.

To the right of the main part of the building, which was likely once a barn and stable, there is a wide opening that has been glazed and is framed by a stone surround with a segmental head. Above this opening is a sashed window with a plain stone surround. Further to the right, there is another door with a plain stone surround and a modern window with plain reveals. Above these features are two circular pitching holes, now glazed, also with plain stone surrounds. The building has no chimneys remaining, except for a truncated chimney cap on the left-hand gable.
