Description

The Black Horse Public House is a range of three connected buildings located in Brent Pelham. The southern section dates from the 18th century and is timber framed with a rendered finish and a plain tile roof. This well-proportioned two-storey structure includes attics, a central doorway with a tiled porch, and is flanked by double hung sash windows. The upper section features a three-window range of double hung sashes and an axial chimney stack topped with a metal weathervane shaped like a black horse. The central section, likely from the 17th century, is also timber framed and rendered, but has a slate roof and is two storeys tall, although lower than the main range, with casement windows. The northern section is a modern conversion of an earlier outbuilding, constructed with rendered brickwork and a tiled roof.
