Description
The Plough Inn is an inn dating from the 17th century, with alterations and additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It features a timber frame with brick infill, although much of it has been rebuilt in red brick that is painted white. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and there are brick ridge stacks. The building has an L-shaped layout, with the main section oriented north-south and facing east, and a wing to the south that projects west. An 18th-century range has been added to the rear of the main section, while a 19th-century extension is located to the north.
The inn is two storeys high and has two bays; the left bay is gabled with an apex finial, while the right bay is marked by pilaster strips. The 19th-century windows feature segmental heads. The south front has one storey and an attic, with a dentilled eaves band and three bays. There are casements in gabled dormers that break through the eaves. The two right bays retain 17th-century timber framing consisting of three square panels at the former eaves level, while the left bay was added later and the eaves level was raised in the 18th century.
