Description

The Plough Inn, dated 1873, was formerly St Mary's Church Schools. It has an asymmetric plan that roughly forms an 'L' shape and consists of one storey and an attic. The building features two windows facing Wolverton Road and is constructed from coursed rubble with brick quoins, dressings, a plinth, and lacing courses. The roofs are tiled. A projecting porch is located on the right side, and there is a stepped chimney positioned between the windows, featuring tumbled brickwork in the central offset. The windows are modern casements, with two lights in the attic and three on the ground floor, along with two printed gables above the attic windows. A bell turret is situated on the ridge to the left.

The front facing London Road has four windows arranged as two pairs. This side of the building is both two storeys and one storey high. There is a half hipped gable to the left with windows similar to those on Wolverton Road. To the right, a lower single storey extension includes a double window and a triple window, both with marble shafts and capitals. These windows are separated by a wide chimney that features a panel with a fleur de lys and the date. Additionally, there are two small triangular lights in the roof. To the south-east, the decorative brickwork resembles that of the north-west gable end of Nos 18 and 20 London Road.
