The Cock Public House

The Cock Public House is a public house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, which has been added to and altered over time. It features painted brickwork with the first floor rendered on the St Peter's Street side, incorporating timber framing. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The building consists of two timber-framed bays that are jettied at the front and left side, with a wing added to the rear in the 17th century. There is a third bay added to the front right, likely in the early 19th century, and the rear wing was extended in the 19th and 20th centuries.

On the St Peter's Street elevation, there are two first-floor windows. The left corner is canted and has a 20th-century door with a pub sign above it. The ground floor features three large 20th-century sash windows with 6, 8, and 6 panes. On the first floor, the pub sign is flanked by 16-pane sash windows. The roof is hipped at the left end, and there is a large brick chimney stack at the rear left.

The left return of the building shows that the front range has a window on each floor, while the wing has a door flanked by windows on each floor. The ground-floor openings have cambered heads, with the ground-floor windows being 20th-century and small-paned. The first-floor windows are 2-light, 8-pane, side-sliding sashes. The lower single-wing extension on the left has three 6-pane sashes, a parapet, and a ridge stack.

Inside, the timber-framed part of the front range features a chamfered cross-beam with a stepped cyma stop, broad close-set joists, and a dragon-beam at the corner with visible carpenter's marks. Covered-over timbers can be seen on the first floor, including jowelled wall posts and tie-beams. The front part of the rear wing, which is the oldest section, has a chamfered spine beam with run-out stops and a visible wall plate on the first floor.
