The Old White Horse

The Old White Horse is a house that has also served as a public house. It dates back to the 16th century for the parlour cell, while the rest of the building is likely from the early 17th century, replacing an earlier medieval structure. The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. It has two storeys and an attic, arranged in a three-cell layout. Most of the windows are small-paned casements from the mid-20th century, with two diamond-mullioned windows, one of which has been altered. There is a small single-storey addition at the front, featuring a mid-20th century door and an open porch nearby. The building has an internal stack and smaller stacks at each gable end. Inside, much of the structure is exposed, with chamfered joists in the hall and parlour. The parlour contains part of an original window with cavetto mullions. The hall fireplace features a fine moulded and embattled lintel, although the surrounding brickwork was rebuilt in the mid-20th century. At the service end, there are some heavy re-used joists that are likely medieval. The parlour range has a queen-post roof, while the later range includes a single row of clasped purlins. A corner bar from the 18th or early 19th century remains intact, and a tie beam is painted with the words 'CHEESE ROOM'.
