Description
The Chequers Public House is a public house located on High Street in Cottenham, likely originating in the early 18th century, though it has undergone significant alterations in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame set on a brick sill, with a cement render finish and a steeply pitched roof covered in cement tiles. It has one end stack made of narrow gault brick and a side stack primarily composed of 19th-century gault bricks. The structure is L-shaped and consists of two storeys. It includes three flush frame hung sash windows from the mid to late 19th century, along with a central doorway that is topped by a narrow doorhood supported by console brackets.
