Description

No 8 Market Place is a house that has been converted into a public house, likely built in the late 18th century with some later alterations. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with some areas painted, and features painted stucco dressings and a slate roof. The building has three storeys and four bays, with a central entrance.

The ground floor is recessed and painted, featuring a central semi-circular-headed doorcase with a bolection-moulded architrave, a six-panel door, and a leaded fanlight. On either side of the entrance, there are bow windows set on brick plinths, each with three 18-pane sash windows, brick sills, and wooden cornices. In front of the doorcase, two 20th-century wooden columns support a modern fascia, with an original stone cornice below the centre point and a moulded sill band above the first-floor windows.

The first floor has rusticated stucco quoins and features four tall sash windows with glazing bars, each set in elaborate pedimented surrounds with eared and shouldered architraves, raised quoined jambs, corniced keystones, and plain friezes. The second floor has a moulded sill band and four unequally-hung nine-pane sashes in similar surrounds, but with plain architraves and no pediments. There is an eaves band and a stone-coped gable on the left side, along with 19th-century brick end stacks.
