Description
The Cock Inn is a 16th-century inn that has two storeys and has undergone significant alterations, with much of it being modernized. It features a narrow facade facing the street, which includes a broad carriageway next to a cross-gable adorned with carved bargeboards that extend from a steep tiled roof. There is a Tudor label above one of the two restored windows. Additionally, a five-storey building in Tudor style has been added to the north in more recent times.
