Description
The Six Bells Public House is a 16th-century inn that has been altered in the 19th century and was substantially restored and extended around 1963 after a fire. It features a timber-framed structure that is rendered, with 20th-century brick gable ends and a thatched roof made of reed. The building has end stacks that have been rebuilt. The layout consists of a single range of four bays and it stands two storeys high, with the first floor jettied above the carriageway and coach entry, which is at a higher level. The original jetty brackets are still present, although the carriageway was sealed in the 19th century. At the first floor, there are four casement windows, and one small 19th-century window that is now blocked. The ground floor has one doorway that dates from when the carriageway entry was sealed, while the other doorway is likely one of the original doorways in the cross-passage. There are two canted bays from the 19th century that are underbuilt to the jettied end bays. Inside, little of the original framing is visible, and some timbers have been added. To the left, there is a single-storey brick and tiled building that was originally a kitchen.
