The Three Tuns Inn

The Three Tuns Inn is a historic inn that dates from the late 15th century or early 16th century, with later additions from the 17th century. The building features a timber frame that is both plastered and exposed, with sections painted in the late 17th century and modern brickwork. It has plain tile and thatched roofs. The inn consists of a two-storey jettied cross wing, which has three bays, and a later 17th-century main range that is one storey with an attic. A modern side stack is present on the cross wing, which has a jetty that is underbuilt with brick casing over the original timber frame. The main range has a 17th-century ridge stack with rebuilt upper courses and a late 17th-century tumbled brick parapet gable.

The entrance features a boarded door located in the cross passage, with three ground floor horizontal sliding sash windows that have shutters, and one casement window in the attic. The cross wing displays an exposed close-studded timber frame with tension braces that terminate in studs, and a moulded jetty bressumer that resembles a mantel beam, which has been re-sited in the 17th-century hearth.

Inside, the inn boasts very fine moulded cross beams with a carved central boss and leaf stops on the roll-moulded joists. There is a doorway in the rear bay of the cross wing that has a four-centred arched head and carved spandrels, which may have originally provided access from the hall, later rebuilt and realigned in the 17th century. The cross wing retains a complete crown post roof, and there is a ridge piece in the roof of the main range. The building also features 17th-century floor frames.
