The Wheatsheaf Inn

The Wheatsheaf Inn is an early 19th century public house, originally built as a single house and public house, forming part of a terrace on Henwick Road, Worcester. The building is constructed of painted brick with a plain clay tile roof and retains two end and party-wall stacks, the two to the left having overhanging detail and decorative pots. The building’s plan is double-depth with a direct entrance into the public bar and includes a cellar.

The building is two storeys high and features three first-floor windows. Brick detailing includes dentilled eaves, with different detailing on the left and right sides of the building. The first-floor windows are 3/6 and 4/8 sashes. Ground-floor windows are 1/8 and 8/8 sashes, and a tall 6/6 between-floor sash, likely related to the earlier staircase, is also present. A smaller 2-light between-floor window is situated to the left. All windows are in flush frames, with lower windows under cambered arches and projecting sills.

The left-hand door is six-panel, with the upper panels glazed, mid-panels raised and fielded, all four with a bolection moulding, and the bottom pair flush-beaded. It has an enriched open-pediment and a blind fanlight. The right-hand door is four-panel, with glazed upper panels and lower panels that are flush-beaded, and has a simple pitched canopy supported by brackets.

The rear elevation includes a large blind canted bay with 9/9 and 6/6 sashes to the north and a smaller canted bay with 6/6, 8/8, and 6/6 sashes to the off-centre south, both bays having tiled roofs. Paired 8/8 sashes are located at the south end of the rear elevation. The interiors were not inspected.
