The Mustard Pot Public House And Restaurant

The Mustard Pot Public House and Restaurant is a house and workshops, now functioning as a public house and restaurant. It dates from the early 18th century and was altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red and brown handmade brick in a random stretcher bond, with ashlar details and a stone slate roof.

The two-storey house on the right features stone quoins and a central 20th-century porch. The doorway has a moulded shouldered architrave, a pediment, a pulvinated frieze, and a fielded-panel door. The windows are sashes with glazing bars in flush wood frames, topped with keyed flat arches. There is a moulded eaves cornice, and the tall corniced end and centre stacks have been rebuilt.

To the left is a former workshop range that is also two storeys high and has five windows. This range features segmental-arched windows with flush wood frames and glazing bars.

Inside, the layout was replanned and refitted in the late 20th century, but two original mid-18th century fireplaces remain. The main room on the left, likely the direct entry, has a cyma-moulded stone surround and a moulded eared and shouldered architrave above, which is surmounted by the coat of arms of the Henson family. The right room contains a similar but wider fireplace, a moulded plaque, and a set of early Delft tiles painted with small figures representing games, pastimes, discipline, costumes, and churchmen. The moulded ceiling beams in these two rooms may be original.

Originally known as Clough House, the building's style is similar to merchant houses built in the town centre around 1700, and the range to the left served as a workshop or cloth finishing shop from that period.
