Description
The Falcon Inn is a building with origins in the 16th century, featuring alterations from the 17th and 18th centuries. It has a combination of timber framing and plaster, as well as brickwork. The front includes a carriageway supported by moulded late 16th century oak posts, a lintel, enriched brackets, and panelled gates. Above this, there is an 18th century bow window. The building has a cornice and a parapet, although the roof is not visible. At the back, there are wing sections with bay windows that have a dentilled cornice, along with interiors from the 16th and 17th centuries. Some external timber framing is also visible. There is one sash window with glazing bars located over the inside front of the archway. Historically, the inn served as the seat of the Cromwellian Commissioners in 1649.
