Description
The Weeping Willow Public House is a building that dates back to the early 16th century and was originally a house. It has two storeys and features two windows, along with a one-storey 20th-century extension to the left. The layout consists of a two-cell plan, likely with a former lobby entry; there is a hall and parlour, each with a chamber above, and an attic above the parlour chamber. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a pantiled roof that has an axial chimney. The building includes 20th-century casements and an entrance door. Inside, the parlour showcases high-quality carpentry, with joists featuring double-scotia moulding, a bridging joist with roll and scotia mouldings, and a sunk folded-leaf carved soffit. The mouldings extend down to the jowled storey post at the floor level, and the binding joist at the stack has roll, scotia, and crenellated mouldings. The doorway to the lobby has shouldered jambs and an arched head with leaf-carved spandrels, and the building exhibits very close studding. The roof is constructed with coupled rafters.
