Description

The Dukes Head Inn is a public house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building has two storeys and attics, constructed with a timber frame and pebble-dash exterior. It features a plaintiled roof that includes a 20th-century casement dormer and an end chimney made of red brick. The windows are primarily 19th-century sashes with large panes, along with two 18th-century or early 19th-century casements on the first storey. The entrance door is a four-panelled design from the 19th century, with the upper pair being glazed. Inside, some late 16th-century or early 17th-century framing is exposed, along with a blocked diamond-mullioned window and heavy unchamfered floor joists, which may indicate an earlier core. The left section of the building was likely rebuilt in the 18th century.
