Description
The Greyhound Public House is a public house dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century. It features a timber-framed structure with plaster infill and weather-boarded underbuilt timber-frame, along with a plastered plinth. The roof is plain tiled and hipped to the right side, with a gault brick stack on the left and a ridge stack on the right. The building is two storeys high and was originally jettied on three sides, consisting of three equal timber-framed bays with close studding and braces from the posts to the studs. On the ground floor, there are three top-hung windows with glazing bars and a glazed door to the right of the centre. The first floor has three casement windows. Inside, there is a double ogee moulded cross beam in the two-bay room to the south, and a crown post truss featuring a square sectioned crown post with four braces.
