Description

The Three Tuns Public House is a building that originated as a house in the 16th or early 17th century and was converted into an inn in the early 18th century. It was purchased by William Wigg in 1726 and was noted as an inn around 1736. The structure features a timber frame set on a black stucco plinth, with roughcast walls and a dark weatherboard apron. It has a steep thatched roof that is half-hipped at the west end, extending down as a hip over the eastern extension and sloping low over the eastern part of the northern front.

The building is two storeys high with a three-cell internal chimney plan, facing north. It has a red brick chimney located a third of the way from the west, serving the parlour and hall. There is a large external chimney at the eastern end, which is now capped off at the eaves. The northern front is irregular, featuring weatherboard cladding on the ground floor of the western part, with two-light flush casement windows and a plank door in the lower eastern part, which has a flat hood supported by brackets.

Attached to the northwest corner is a dark weatherboarded single-storey range. The western part includes a six-panel flush beaded door and a two-light Yorkshire flush sliding casement. The rear elevation, facing the garden, has a plank door leading into the lower end of the hall, along with two- and three-light flush casement windows, and a small-paned two-light Yorkshire sliding casement window on the first floor. Inside, the building features exposed timbers, chamfered axial beams, and close-studded walls, with a later addition to the parlour fireplace.
