Description
The Three Hammers Public House is a building that includes a house from the 15th to 16th century at its northern end, while the rest of the structure dates from the 20th century. It features a timber frame construction with red brick and a plain tile roof. The building is mostly one storey with attics, and at the center, there is a two-storey gable end. To the right of this gable, the brickwork is from the 17th to 18th century and encases the timber-framed section. The ground floor has segmental-headed windows and doors. Inside, there is a three-bay layout, with the northern bay being a 16th-century cross wing. The central bay was originally an open hall, which now has a late 17th-century chimney stack next to the front wall and a 17th-century chamfer-stopped beam. There is a long 20th-century rear extension to the northern bay, along with large 20th-century extensions to the entire building.
