The Eight Bells Public House

The Eight Bells Public House is a building that originated as a house, dating from the 15th and early 16th centuries, with extensions added in the early 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber-framed structure that is plastered and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The main range, which is three bays long and from the early 16th century, includes an axial chimney stack, while a three-bay crosswing to the right has an external chimney stack on its right wall. To the left, there is an early 19th-century brick range with a rear external chimney stack. The building is two storeys high, with 20th-century single-storey extensions at the rear of the main range and to the right of the crosswing, as well as a small flat-roofed extension at the front right.

The left block from the 19th century has a two-window range featuring contemporary sashes with 16 lights. The main range and crosswing each have one similar window on the ground floor and three on the first floor, along with two 20th-century casements and two 20th-century doors. The rear end of the crosswing has a hipped gablet. The ground floor showcases a full-length jetty that is underbuilt, while most of the structure is either plastered or boxed in. On the first floor, there are jowled posts, close studs with curved braces set inside, an edge-halved and bridled scarf in the wall plate of the crosswing, and cambered tiebeams. Additionally, there is a complete unglazed window in the rear wall of the main range, featuring two diamond mullions. The roof of the main range is constructed with crownpost construction and includes axial braces to the crownposts. Access to the roof of the crosswing is not available.
