The Old Horseshoe

The Old Horseshoe is a former farmhouse that later became a public house, dating from the 15th century and late 16th century. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure topped with a thatched roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with various casement windows, mostly old, and a small diamond-mullioned window on the first floor at the rear. The entrance is a lobby with a hipped thatched porch and a 20th-century door. Inside, there is a rendered internal stack, and the section of the house to the right of the stack is a medieval hall range that has been raised about 0.6 meters and re-roofed in the late 16th century. There is a mutilated moulded and crenellated beam against the stack, likely the dais beam. The inserted ceiling features closely-spaced plain joists, and the former open truss, which has an arched-braced cambered tie beam, is now part of a partition wall. Most of the timbers from the later section are visible internally.
