Description
The Bull Public House is a house that has been converted into a public house, dating from the early 18th century or possibly earlier. It features a timber frame covered in roughcast, topped with a steep old red tile roof and bellcast eaves. The building is long, with two storeys and a cellar, and it faces south. On the first floor, there are four windows with flush, three-light casement windows. The ground floor has three canted bay windows, with a door located under the second window from the left and a small two-light window to its right. The entrance features a six-panel door set in a moulded surround, topped with a flat hood supported by small brackets. The roof structure has side purlins and a drip-board across each gable, connecting the ends of the wall plates. There are two rear lateral external chimneys that serve the end rooms of the three-cell layout. The building is said to have been a butcher's shop for 100 years and was the site of manor court proceedings in the 19th century.
