Description
The White Horse Public House is a 17th-century timber-framed and plastered building located on Church Street. It features a cross wing at the north end and has been altered and expanded in the 18th century. The cross wing has a jettied upper storey on the west front, while both the main block and the cross wing have 19th-century shaped bargeboards on their gables. The main block consists of one storey with attics, and the cross wing has two storeys. The 18th-century windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars, set in flush cased frames. The roof is tiled and includes one gabled dormer on the main block. The White Horse Public House, along with Nos 4 and 6, forms a group with No 18 and the Smithy, Nos 20 to 30 (even), the Parish Church of St Nicholas, the Vicarage, No 35 (Barnardiston), and Nos 43 to 55 (odd) Chippinghill. It also forms a group with Nos 14 (Recess) and 16 (Bramstons) on Chippinghill.
