Description
The Plough Public House is a mid-16th century building that stands at one and a half storeys with attics and features five windows. It is constructed with a timber frame and rendered exterior. The roof is hipped at the eastern service end and is partly thatched and partly covered with plain tiles. There is a gabled casement dormer that is also tiled.
Red brick axial and gable chimneys were added around 1600, with the parlour gable chimney featuring the base of two octagonal flues, although the head has been rebuilt. The building includes 19th and 20th century small-pane casements and a boarded entrance door. Originally, it was designed as a three-cell cross-passage entry house with twin doorways leading into two service rooms from a two-bay ground floor hall. The parlour block was rebuilt in the 18th century. Some of the first-floor walls display scribed diaper-pattern plaster panels, which are likely original work from the 16th century.
