Greyhound Public House

The Greyhound Public House is a public house that dates back to the early 16th century, with later 19th and 20th-century alterations. It features a timber-framed structure that is partially weatherboarded, with brick elements and a peg-tile roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a principal range and an eastern cross-wing.

On the exterior, the principal range has a central stack and a ground floor made of brick. It includes three segment-headed windows with lower plain panes and upper lights that have glazing bars, arranged in 4x2 panes. There is a segment-headed doorway at the junction with the cross-wing, which has a door featuring upper glazing with glazing bars in a 3x3 pane arrangement, along with lower panes. The first floor has two windows that rise through the eaves, set within gable ends that have barge boards. The eastern cross-wing has 20th-century double casement windows with glazing bars, with the ground floor featuring 6x4 panes and the first floor 6x5 panes. The eastern elevation, which was partially inspected, has two external stacks on the cross-wing, likely rebuilt versions of earlier stacks. There are also additions to the rear of the cross-wing that were not inspected.

Inside, the eastern cross-wing was originally part of a high-end medieval hall house. An inspection of the ground floor reveals evidence of an original jetty at the front, with storey posts and a binding joist from a two-bayed frame that has had its arched braces removed. There is a stud and an arched brace on the original hall face, showing signs of sooting, as well as a door frame leading to the rear of the cross-wing from the hall. A principal tie-beam above the central cross-wing truss can be seen from the road through an upper window. Although inspection of the upper floor was not permitted, it is said that the timber-framing of the hall continues into the main range, extending about halfway at first floor level, though nothing is visible on the ground floor. The western end of the building has been rebuilt and is not of special interest. The Greyhound Public House and its outbuildings form a group.
