Description

The Nag's Head Public House is a public house built in 1684, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries, and an early 19th-century rear wing. The building features coursed limestone rubble and squared rubble on the right side, with ashlar dressings and a pantiled roof that has raised stone coped gables. It has two tall red brick gable stacks and is a single storey plus attics with a three-bay front. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed door with a bordered upper light, framed by an early 19th-century wooden surround with fluted pilasters, a narrow leaded hood, rosettes, and some fan decoration. To the left of the door is a bordered glazing bar sash window, and to the right is a three-light sliding glazing bar sash. The roof includes two 20th-century gabled dormers with two-light plain casements and rendered cheeks.

On the right side of the building, there are single three-light chamfered mullioned windows on each floor, each with moulded flat hoods. The gable features a recessed square datestone inscribed with "PTE Henry Ireland AD 1684." The early 19th-century rear wing is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, topped with a later 19th-century pantiled roof and two red brick gable stacks. This section is three storeys high with a three-bay front that has a plinth and a second-floor band. The off-centre entrance consists of a half-glazed late 19th-century door with sidelights and a bracketed wooden pediment. To the right are single three-light and three-light sliding plain sashes. The first floor has a glazing bar casement and two tall glazing bar sashes to the right. The second floor features three similar windows, all with segmental brick heads. Inside, the building retains panelled shutters in the rear range and some reset early 18th-century raised and fielded panels in the front range.
