GV II

Public House. Dated 1707, but with considerably earlier core. Rendered over ironstone rubble, with Welsh slate roof. 2 storeyed. Long facade to street with 2 renewed 3-light casement windows to left of doorway, a small 2-light window to its right and another 3-light casement beyond, then a long section of blank wall and an outbuilding beyond it with door and blocked window. 5 2-light casement windows to first floor with date stone beneath small hoodmould between the right hand two, carrying initials A over T.B. Gable and axial stacks. Inside, various timber posts, one chamfered, suggests an earlier timber framed origin for the building, and there is the stump of a possible cut-off cruck blade. Early Cl7 staircase with moulded handrail and simple newels with rough finials. Inglenook fireplace with late C16 or early Cl7 carved wood cornice above with interlace pattern which is repeated along one of the beams, suggesting the position of the earlier cross wall. Panelled ceiling with ornately moulded wood beams of similar date.
