The Peacock Inn

The Peacock Inn is a 16th century timber-framed and plastered building located on the north side of The Street in Chelsworth. It features a cross wing at the east end and has a tiled roof with a prominent 16th century ridge chimney stack that has three octagonal shafts. The main block consists of one storey and attics, while the cross wing has two storeys and attics. The windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars.
