Description
The Trafalgar Public House is a public house dating from the 17th century and early 19th century. It features a timber-framed and rendered structure with a gabled concrete plain tile roof. The building has two storeys with attics, which are covered by a continuous catslide roof over single-storey rear extensions. There is a large central ridgeline stack and two gable end stacks.
On the exterior, there are four gabled small dormers on the front roof slope, each with two-light casements that include a single horizontal glazing bar. The building has a modillioned eaves cornice and four double-hung sash windows on the first floor, each with moulded surrounds and one vertical glazing bar. In the centre of the first floor, there are two circular moulded plaster frames and a central rectangular moulded frame with a semicircular top, which frame painted sign boards. A painted timber fascia board is located at the first-floor level. The ground floor features four similar double-hung sash windows aligned beneath those above, along with two 20th-century entrance doors, one of which has a sidelight. The building is set on a black painted plinth.
Inside, the 17th-century timber frame includes a central stack bay, mostly chamfered with lamb's tongue stops. The spine beam on the ground floor has a moulded timber corbel.
