Description
The Queen's Head Public House is a building that was originally a hall-house from the late 15th century. It has undergone alterations, partial rebuilding, and conversion in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior features a plastered and colourwashed timber frame with a slate roof, including end stacks and a central stack on the front roof pitch.
The front of the building is two stories high with three windows. It has an early 20th-century public house facade on the left, which includes pilasters and glazing, and is situated next to a central plank door, all beneath a fascia board. To the right of the door, there is a 20th-century plate-glass window and a diagonally-placed 20th-century door at the return. The first floor has three 19th-century three-light casement windows that are separated by raised plaster panels. At the rear, there is a two-storey wing with 2/2 horned sash windows. The left return features false studwork in the gable head.
Inside, most of the exposed timber is from 20th-century insertions. In the rear bar, there is one face of a blocked four-centred screens passage doorway. The former rear wall on the first floor shows remnants of pargetting. The roof contains a single square-section crown post, with arched braces leading to the collars and crown purlin.
