Description

The Marquis of Granby is a public house dating from the 17th century, constructed with a timber frame and roughcast exterior. It features a steeply pitched plain tile roof and stands two storeys tall. The building has a long frontage with a three-window centre block and a ridge chimney stack located on the left centre, which has two plastered square shafts. There is a door situated beneath the chimney stack. The windows include 19th-century casements and one flush sash window. Inside, the clasped purlin roof is exposed. Flanking the main structure are single-storey wings from the 17th or 18th century, likely also timber framed, with glazing bar casements. The right wing includes a late 19th-century hipped dormer.
