Loggerheads Public House

Loggerheads Public House is a house that has been converted into a public house, dating from the early 18th century with later alterations. It features painted brickwork and a plain tiled roof. The building stands three storeys high and has a three-window range. The doorway is located to the right of the centre and includes an overlight set within a moulded architrave, topped with a small canopy, which may indicate the original gable end of the building, as evidenced by the stone quoins in the wall above. Flanking the doorway are public house windows that have architraves with a high entablature and hood. There is a small inserted window to the left. The upper windows are irregularly spaced, featuring flush-framed 9-pane sashes, with 6 panes on the second storey. A dentilled string course serves as the sill band for the second storey, and there is a stack on the right-hand gable. To the right, there is a small single-storey extension from the later 19th century, which includes a small-paned public house window and door beneath a single projecting fascia or hood. This extension forms a single build with No. 17 St Mary's Street.

Inside, entry to the left leads to a small lobby with a door to the bar on the right. The ground floor retains its room plan, consisting of a Gentleman's Bar, Bar, Lounge, and Snug. The Gentleman's Bar features a timber partition to the corridor with borrowed glazing along the top and is lined on one wall with reused 16th-century oak panelling. There is fixed bench seating and a Victorian inglenook-style fireplace in the corner with a bracketed shelf above. Servery hatches connect the passage to the bars. The small snug at the rear has padded bench seating around the perimeter, and the door opening features small ogee architraves. The Lounge bar includes a servery hatch to the central bar and a separate door leading into Church Street through the lobby. The central bar area runs parallel to Church Street and includes two bench settles, a plain dado, an ogee picture rail, and architraves around the door.
