The Plough Inn

The Plough Inn is an inn that dates from the second half of the 16th century or early 17th century, though it has been significantly rebuilt and refronted in the late 18th or early 19th century, with additional alterations made later. The building is constructed of painted brick in Flemish bond, with some remnants of timber-framing. It features a plain tile roof with brick dentilled eaves, and brick stacks located externally at both ends and one on the ridge between the right-hand bays.

The inn is two storeys tall, with three storeys at the rear, and has a four-window range along the front, along with various wings at the back, including one that is at right angles to the main range. On the first floor, there are flush 6/6 horned sash windows with painted channelled voussoirs, keystones, and sills. Between the left-hand windows, there is an inn sign that is hung from a decorative wrought-iron fitting. The ground floor features two canted bay windows with steeply-pitched leaded roofs and mostly fixed 20th-century glazing, which flank a doorcase that has a deep leaded hood and two-leaf three-panel doors. To the right, there is a remodelled carriage entrance that has a heavy timber lintel and exposed joists, which is now blocked in and has 20th-century steps, a door, and windows. A painted plinth runs along the base of the building, and a straight joint on the left of the door indicates where alteration work has been done.

On the right return, there is square-panel timber-framing with brick nogging located to the left of the stack, and the rear of the building has further surviving timber-framing. The interior has not been inspected.
