The Ship Inn

The Ship Inn is an inn dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. It features a timber frame that is rendered, with a brick end wall on the right side. The roof is thatched with reed and has a tumbled end parapet supported by kneelers. The building has two storeys and an attic, with three 20th-century gable dormers. The first floor has three horizontal sliding sash windows, and the jetty beam is boxed. On either side of the doorway, there are two 19th-century flush frame hung sashes. Inside, the ground floor boasts a particularly fine ceiling from the early to mid-16th century, adorned with running folded leaf ornamentation on the soffits of the main beams and hollow and roll mouldings on the joists. The timber framing is exposed on the first floor and in the roof, which features wind bracing and a substantially intact clasped side purlin structure.
