Description
The Golden Boar Public House is a 17th-century building with a likely 16th-century core, featuring mid-19th-century alterations. It stands two storeys tall and is timber-framed, with the front encased in painted 19th-century gault brick. The left-hand gable is constructed of 17th-century pink and buff brick, showcasing a large external end chimney with sunk panels in the shaft, which appears to have been added to an earlier timber-framed structure. A similar chimney is located at the rear wing. The building has a concrete tiled roof with 19th-century chimneys made of gault brick. The windows are 19th-century sash types, featuring flat arches of gauged brick and small-pane sashes. The entrance door is a four-panelled design with moulded pilasters and a canopy. Some timber-framing, possibly from the 16th century, is exposed internally.
