The Fox Inn

The Fox Inn is a public house that originated as a house around 1500 and underwent alterations in the 17th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with plastering and is roofed with handmade red clay tiles. The building is designed as a hall house with two crosswings facing south. It has an axial stack in the right bay of the hall and an external stack on the left return wall. There is a 19th-century rear wing made of red brick and flint with a slate roof, which is one storey high with attics. Additionally, there is a 20th-century single-storey flat-roofed extension behind the hall and another single-storey extension behind the right crosswing.

The inn is two storeys tall and has a two-window range of Gothic Revival casements with moulded labels, along with a 20th-century splayed bay window and a casement above it. There are also two 20th-century doors. The building features grouped diagonal shafts behind the ridge. Originally, both crosswings had jetties, but they have been underbuilt, and the front wall of the hall has been rebuilt on the same line. The rear wall was raised by approximately 1.5 metres in the 17th or 18th century, and the roof was rebuilt as a continuous range. The hearths on the ground floor have been rebuilt. In the left crosswing, one original bracket to the jetty is exposed, showcasing curved tension bracing set inside close studding. The right crosswing includes a chamfered binding beam with step stops, jowled posts, a cambered tiebeam with arched braces, and a crownpost roof with axial braces incorporated into the later main roof.
