The Greyhound Inn

The Greyhound Inn is an early 16th-century house that has been operating as a public house since at least 1679. It was extended to the north around 1740 and to the rear in the first half of the 19th century. A flat-roofed extension was added to the rear in approximately the mid-20th century.

The front range of the building is made of rendered and colorwashed brick and flint, while the parallel rear range is constructed of red brick laid in stretcher bond. The rear wing combines flint and red brick, and the roofs are covered with pantiles.

The building has an L-shaped plan, with the front range facing west onto the Market Place and a parallel rear range, along with a rear wing along the northern boundary. A rear extension on the south side dates from between 1928 and 1970.

The front range features two storeys beneath a pitched roof, which has a parapet at the southern end. There is a 19th-century ridge stack above the right-hand doorway and an internal gable-end stack to the north. The ground floor is illuminated by three two-over-two pane horned sash windows. Between the windows, there are two half-glazed doors with stuccoed brick doorcases that have plain entablatures. The first floor has four six-over-six pane unhorned sash windows, positioned directly beneath the eaves.

At the rear, parallel to the front range, is a three-storey 19th-century range with three window bays under a pitched roof, which was partly rebuilt in the mid-20th century. To the north is a two-storey range from around 1740, built of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring a pitched roof and two window bays with 20th-century casements and sash windows. The single-storey rear wing of flint has a wide two-leaf door on the right side, with modern repairs in red brick on either side.

Inside, the building has groin-vaulted 18th-century brick cellars supported by two square brick piers. The 16th-century section of the building to the north has three bays of bridging beams on the ground floor, featuring wave and hollow mouldings, roll-moulded wall plates with fillets, and joists with roll and hollow mouldings. There is a wide fireplace to the south that contains some 17th-century brick.
