Description
The Wheatsheaf Public House, located at No. 92 Church Street in Gamlingay, is a house that dates back to the 17th century with some 19th-century alterations. It features a timber frame, is plaster rendered, and has a plain tiled roof with two ridge levels. The building includes a ridge stack and has a later rear range that forms an L-plan with a baffle entry at the front.
It is two storeys high, with two flush frame eight-pane hung sashes on the first floor. The ground floor windows are later additions but may be in original openings, flanking a doorway that has a 19th-century moulded architrave and a narrow hood supported by shaped brackets. The eastern bay of the building was likely originally a service end. The rear range, which replaces an earlier wing, is also 19th-century, timber-framed, rendered, and has a slate roof.
Inside, the pub features an inglenook hearth with settles on either side and a 17th-century ovolo moulding on the main beam. The 19th-century section of the building includes a cellar. Historical records indicate that a public house has been present at this location since 1798.
