The White Horse Public House

The White Horse Public House is a timber-framed building dating back to the 15th century. A floor and stack were added in the late 16th or early 17th century, with extensions in the late 17th century and further extensions and raising in the 18th century. Alterations occurred in the 19th century. The structure is timber-framed, with plaster and some panelled pargetting, and has plaintiled roofs.

The original layout comprised four bays, incorporating a small two-bay open hall, a storeyed lower bay to the right, and a smoke bay or storeyed solar bay to the left. A parlour was added to the left, and a cross-gabled bay to the front right. The building is now two storeys high. The main range has an entrance to the right of the former lower bay of the hall, with a six-panelled architraved door. To the left is a three-light glazing bar casement window, and on the first floor a four-light leaded metal frame casement. A rebuilt ridge stack is located at the original left end. The 17th-century parlour on the left has an early 19th-century two-storey canted bay window to the front, featuring a two:three:two-pane metal frame leaded casement; the roof has a hip to the left. An 18th-century gable-fronted bay extends forward on the front right, with an inner return wall plastered to resemble ashlar over a brick base. It features a transomed four-light casement on the ground floor and a two-light leaded casement on the first floor, with exposed plates and purlins. The right return has a rebuilt external stack and a 20th-century outshut with a pantiled lean-to behind. The original range has been reroofed with a hip to the rear right. To the rear are catslide roofs over 18th and 19th-century brick lean-to outshuts, and an external stack at the service end.

Inside, the hall retains original open truss posts with traces of moulded shafts to the arched braces. Towards the upper end, chamfered storey posts have been inserted to a chamfered cross axial binding beam; the frame is largely concealed at the upper end. There remain traces of a panelled screen to the cross passage, and a service doorway with a chamfered four-centred arched head. The parlour has a stop-chamfered axial binding beam and an 18th-century fireplace with a lugged architrave and a Greek key pattern on the mantlepiece. The first floor exhibits some exposed studding and arched braces in the walling, raised eaves over the hall, and has been reroofed.
