Description

The building is a tower brewery and adjoining store located to the south-east of the Three Tuns Inn, constructed between 1880 and 1888 as an enlargement of a late 17th-century structure. It features a timber-framed design with painted brick nogging, a coursed limestone rubble plinth, and a red brick end wall to the right, all topped with slate roofs. The layout is L-shaped, consisting of a 1½ framed bay store on the left and a gabled tower brewery positioned at right angles on the right.

The store is two storeys high with a lateral brick stack at the rear. It has a first-floor window to the left and a central boarded loft door. The ground floor includes off-centre boarded double doors to the left and boarded segmental-headed doors to the right. The tower brewery rises three storeys with an attic, featuring a semi-integral transverse brick stack to the left, a stack at the rear, and a louvred gabled ridge-vent. The gable end includes a segmental-headed boarded loft door with a bracketed hoist balcony, two tall second-floor segmental-headed two-light small-paned windows, and three tall first-floor segmental-headed windows with louvres below and opening panes above. The central ground floor has segmental-headed boarded double doors. The second floor bears painted lettering that reads "THREE/TUNS/BREWERY."

Inside, the brewery is known as a tower brewery because it is gravity fed. It retains most of its original fittings, including grit hoppers and a liquor tank in the attic, a mash tank on the second floor, a steam boiler, and a rare open copper cooler on the first floor, along with fermenting vats on the ground floor. Empty and full barrels are stored in the adjoining store to the left. This building is a rare example of a working small rural brewery, and the late 17th-century timber-framed block to the left retains a complete set of carpenter's marks.
