The Horse And Trumpet Hotel

The Horse and Trumpet Hotel is a public house with accommodation above, built around 1875 and altered in the 20th century. It features red brick construction with an ashlar sandstone ground floor and dressings, topped by a Welsh slate roof. The building stands three stories tall with cellars and has a symmetrical three-bay facade.

The facade includes a plinth and shaped raised quoins at the ground floor. It has plain sash windows throughout. The entrance is quoined and features an aedicule with a cross-panelled double door set in a recess, flanked by granite corner pilasters with composite capitals. These are linked by a transom that has grapes carved in relief, and above it is an overlight under a segmental arch adorned with rosettes, a hoodmould, and a carved head keystone. The frieze below has the word 'HOTEL' in bold raised letters, and there is a dentilled segmental pediment with a figurine of a horse and trumpet.

The outer bays of the building have shaped sills to paired round-headed windows, which are set in pilastered surrounds with linked hoodmoulds and keystones carved with flagons, bugles, and horns. A dentilled cornice breaks forward over the quoins. On the first floor, the paired outer windows have panelled aprons, rosettes, faceted dies, and moulded sills beneath shaped architraves and carved lintels, with a single central window. The second floor features a moulded sill band that breaks forward on blocks beneath pilastered, round-headed 2:1:2-light windows linked by a flush band with rosettes, topped with triangular-headed lintels that have sunk carvings. The building is finished with a frieze and string course, ashlar panels, and paired brackets under a deep cornice, with larger end brackets featuring lions' heads. A blocking course is raised as a parapet over the center, and there are mid-pitch end stacks.

Inside, the original front-room layout remains, while the rest of the interior has been updated with 1980s reproductions that include re-sited 19th-century fireplaces.
