Description
The Maid's Head Public House is a public house dating from around 1500 and later. It features a rendered timber frame with an applied imitation frame at the front and has a pantiled roof. The building is two storeys high and has 20th-century windows. At the rear, there is a full-height gabled extension. It has one off-centre axial stack and an additional gabled-end stack added in the 18th century. There are also 20th-century extensions to the side and rear. The timbers are of heavy scantling, showcasing wide chamfers and stepped stops. Inside, there is one crown post roof truss with only a small section of its polygonal base and shaft visible, which forms the centre truss of a two-bay first-floor room. The structure includes arch braces and jowled wall posts.
