The Feathers Public House

The Feathers Public House is a building that dates back to the late 15th century for its wing and the late 16th century for its hall, which was rebuilt and later encased in the late 18th century. There are 19th-century additions as well. The structure features a timber frame, with the wing rendered and the hall cased in brick, topped with tiled roofs.

The building has a three-bay open hall and a three-bay cross wing. The cross wing, which is gabled and located to the left, has a brick and timber gabled porch at the entrance, a canted bay window on the ground floor, and a two-light casement window on the first floor. To the left of this is a 19th-century addition with one bay and casement windows. The left return has double gables and a stack in the central valley.

The two-storey hall range features a main 17th-century cruciform ridge stack at the left end, with plastered crossed keys on the front of the stack. There is a central hooded entrance, a triple sash window to the left, and a tripartite sash window to the right. The first floor has horizontal sliding sashes, with the center window being smaller and all having segmental heads. The eaves are dentilled brick, and there is an extruded stack with offsets at the right end.

At the rear, the cross wing shows exposed framing and has a brick rear wall, while the hall has weatherboarding over 20th-century flat-roofed additions that are of no special interest. Inside, the ground floor bearers in the cross wing are stop-chamfered towards the front and moulded towards the rear, featuring a moulded jowled post, patterned curved bracing, and moulded ceiling beams in the hall.
