The Cock Public House

The Cock Public House is a former coaching inn, dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century, with significant alterations made in the early 19th century and in 1935. The building is two storeys high and has a three-cell plan. It is timber-framed and was encased in red brick in the early 19th century, which has been painted in the 20th century. The roof is covered with plaintiles and features axial and end chimneys made of red brick. The windows are mainly 20th-century small-pane sash windows, with two 19th-century windows on the first floor that have horizontal sliding casements. The entrance door is a recessed, glazed panelled design from the 20th century.

Originally, the upper floor jutted out over the front wall. The right-hand cell, now known as the Public Bar, was once used as twin service rooms. The hall, which is now the Lounge Bar, consists of two equal bays and features a central binding joist with intricate trailing leaf carving in three bands, separated by a roll. At the rear wall, this joist rests on a post that has a carved male figure approximately 50 centimeters high, depicted in a long robe and appearing to support the joist with its upstretched arms. This figure stands on a carved pilaster. A second figure, which faced the first, was removed from the front wall in 1935. The bridging and common joists are decorated with moulded roll, ogee, and hollow-chamfers. There is an open fireplace, likely added later, with a plain cambered lintel.

To the rear left, there is a small wing that dates from the 18th century or earlier, which has a gable chimney and may have served as a kitchen. The one and two-storey wings added to the right and rear in the 20th century are not of special interest.
