Description
The Queen's Head Inn is a public house with possible origins in the 17th century, though it largely dates to the late 18th century, with 19th-century additions and 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of brick with a rendered stucco front, and has a tile roof with brick stacks. Originally a 2-unit plan, it has later extensions. The main part of the building is single-storey with an attic, featuring a 3-window front, with a 2-window addition to the left and a single-storey addition to the right. The front door, located slightly right of centre, is set within a porch with columns lacking capitals and a narrow entablature, and has a 4-panel door. Windows have rusticated wedge lintels and 20th-century small-paned casements. Dormers with matching casements light the attic. The building has end stacks and a cross-axial stack to the left of the entrance. At the rear are an early 19th-century gabled wing and a late 19th-century gabled wing, both with end stacks. The interior of the main part of the building includes chamfered spine beams in two ground floor rooms, and what may be the base of a cruck structure, though this is obscured by 20th-century alterations. A beam is reportedly present in the cellar. Evidence suggests possible cruck construction.
