Description
The Plough Inn, dating from 1808, is a three-storey building with an attic, originally featuring a two-window front and a three-bay left return. A prominent octagonal tower, topped with a copper dome, sits on the corner of the building. A strapwork frieze below the dome displays the date 1808. The inn is constructed of red brick with Portland stone dressings, and is characterized by three gables separated by a parapet. Bands are present at the heads of windows on all floors. The windows are stone-mullioned, some including transoms. The ground floor is faced with black and red granite, with bays delineated by pilasters topped with leafy capitals. Original engraved glass depicting a plough and leafy ornamentation is present. A heavy cornice sits above the ground floor fascia. Within the lobby, decorative glazed tiles depict a ploughman and his team.
