The Blue Boar Public House

The Blue Boar Public House is a public house that dates back to the 15th century and has undergone later modifications. It features a timber-framed structure that was widened and encased in 19th-century red brick, topped with pantiles. The building has two storeys and consists of five bays. There are two internal chimney-stacks with plain red brick shafts. The upper floor has four late 19th-century sash windows that are irregularly spaced, complete with reveals and multiple glazing-bars. On the ground floor, there are two similar windows to the left, while the other two windows are 20th-century replacements.

The public house has two entrance doors, one of which leads to a centrally placed late 19th-century enclosed brick porch. This porch is single-storey with a shallow-pitched roof. Both doors feature six flush panels, with the top two being glazed. The front of the building has 19th-century extensions at both ends.

Inside, the two bays to the left of the main stack have a smoke-blackened crown-post roof that was originally over an open hall. The crown-post of the open truss has a long octagonal shaft with unusual fluting that continues around the cap and base. The wide arched braces to the collar and collar-purlin are adorned with hollow-chamfer moulding. The end truss of the hall, which may also mark the end of the original building, features a plain shaft for the crown-post, downward-sloping arched braces from the crown-post to the tie-beam, and remnants of widely-spaced studding.

The front slope of the roof was raised when the brick front was added, and dormers were inserted into the rear slope before the back was extended. The main chimney-stack appears to have been added to the cross-entry during a late 16th-century enlargement of the original service end. The inserted hall ceiling is plain, with joists set flat; one supporting beam is reused from the service-end partition and shows grooves and mortices for planking and doorways. The bay at the left end is a 17th-century addition of poorer quality.
