The Black Horse Public House

The Black Horse Public House is an early 18th-century reworking of an earlier building in Woburn. It is constructed of vitrified brick with red brick dressings, which appear to have been applied over an underlying timber frame. The roof is covered in tiles. The front section of the building is two storeys high with attics, and there are projecting sections to the rear, one of one storey and the other of two storeys. To the left of the front is a carriage archway with a plain timber surround beneath a cambered head. To the right is a doorway flanked by 19th-century canted bays, each with pilastered surrounds, moulded cornices and sash windows with glazing bars. The double-leafed door has two moulded panels to each leaf, topped by a rectangular fanlight with ornamental glazing bars. The doorway has a pilastered surround of similar design, with a flat cornice hood. The first floor has four sash windows, arranged irregularly. All have glazing bars, wide moulded wooden frames flush to the wall, and segmental arched heads within gauged brick openings. The attic has two hipped dormers with two-light casements. The ground floor brickwork is painted. A red brick chimney stack is located on the right.
