Description

The Princess Victoria Public House is a public house dated 1651, constructed of brick with a pantile roof. It features a two-storey west facade divided into three bays. The central door, which is from the 20th century, is flanked by a three-light 20th-century cross casement window on each side. There is a platband between the two storeys, and on the first floor, there are two leaded three-light casements. The roof is gabled, and the north gable has a single-storey hipped extension. The north gable head shows tumbling and has a datestone marked TF 1651 above a two-light leaded casement. The south gable includes an external stack with a rendered plinth that steps up into twin flues, with the space between the flues bricked. At the rear, there is a gabled cross wing of one storey with 19th-century fenestration and a twin-flued ridge stack. Inside, the ground floor of the main range is now one room and features four bridging beams with sunk quadrant mouldings that terminate in tongue stops. One bridging beam is boxed, and another is partly encased in a partition wall. The wall plate over the window to the right of the door also has sunk quadrant mouldings, and the ceiling joists have sunk quadrant edges.
