The Three Horseshoes Public House

The Three Horseshoes Public House is a 16th century or earlier building, reputedly dating back to 1446. This one-and-a-half storey house is set back from the road and features an exposed timber frame with plastered infill and a steep half-hipped thatch roof. The original layout consists of three rooms in a line, with an extension of one bay at the eastern end made in the 16th or 17th century. A floor was inserted in the central bays in the later 17th century, creating an attic that is lit by a dormer.

There is a gable chimney at the western end and a large internal chimney where the later eastern bay connects to the main house. The front (north) has a door opposite the chimney and another door at the western end. The eastern bay features a straight tension brace and the upper half of a two-light window with diagonally set oak mullions above a later three-light leaded casement. A gabled tiled dormer on the roof slope has a two-light wooden casement.

The western end remains open to the collars of the roof inside, and the rear wall plate shows an edge halved bridle butt splice. The ground floor has been lowered under the inserted floor, and parts of the framework of the partitions are still visible. The eastern bay has a chamfered axial beam with concave stops, and there is a deep, elaborately moulded lintel over the fireplace, possibly a reused bressumer. The roof is constructed with purlins. Modern buildings with fake timber framing have been added to the south. This structure is an interesting survival and is considered picturesque.
