Description

The Greyhound Inn is a public house that dates back to the early 16th century, with a cross-wing added later in the same century. It has undergone alterations in the late 19th century and further changes in the 20th century. The building features close-studded timber framing with plastered infill from the 20th century, along with some remaining wattle-and-daub infill on a sandstone rubble plinth. It has a brick shaft for the stack and a tiled roof.

The earlier part of the house is three bays wide and aligned east to west, with the cross-wing located at the east end and a main axial stack. The building stands two storeys high, with a jettied upper floor on the south front. Notable architectural details include a moulded bressummer, curved brackets adorned with foliage and rose decoration, and shafts to the main post below, along with plain curved brackets supporting the jetty of the later wing.

On the upper floor, there are two 3-light leaded casement windows, and canted bay windows flank a blocked entrance that features a decorative carved doorhead. The gable end of the cross-wing to the right has 3-light casement windows, and there is a doorway to the left of the window on the ground floor that has a 6-panelled door. Inside, the inn retains moulded ceiling beams.
