Description

The Plough Public House is a public house that dates from the 17th century and 19th century. It features a painted and rendered timber frame with an old tiled roof that is hipped to the left. There are end stacks on both the right and left sides, with an additional stack located in front of the ridge, slightly off-centre to the left. The building consists of two framed bays and has two storeys. The first floor has three 19th-century casement windows, while the ground floor has two 20th-century casements to the right and one to the left, which has a segmental head. The doorway is situated between the first and second windows from the left and is framed with an architrave and a flat hood.
