Description
The Horn Inn is a 16th-century building that has been significantly altered and modernised. It stands two storeys tall, with a stucco exterior over timber framing and a tiled roof. The first floor features five Yorkshire sash windows. The ground floor has late 19th-century shop frames on the windows to the left, while No 2 has an early 19th-century reeded surround and a band below a bracketed cornice, along with wooden mullion and transom windows. The original corner entrance has been converted into a window. There is a three-window return to St Mary's Butts, with casement windows on the first floor and glazing bar sashes on the ground floor. The first floor also displays applied timbering with a quadrilobe decorative band, which dates from the 20th century.
