The Swan Public House

The Swan Public House is a late 15th-century hall house, subsequently extended in the 17th century and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is now a public house. The building is timber framed with painted plaster and brick infill, and has an old tile gabled roof. It is arranged in an L-shape, with a three-bay front part including a former hall now floored, a smoke bay with a 17th-century chimney, and a single framed bay on either side. A further two-bay 17th-century extension exists at the rear; to the left is a former byre with a hipped roof of old tiles. The building is two storeys high. The front has a ridge stack and upper windows of the 19th century, comprising casements of two and three lights with horizontal glazing bars. There are three bays of 20th-century small-pane bow windows on the ground floor, and a gabled entry porch to the right of centre. The interior retains the complete frame on the first floor, incorporating large curved windbraces and braces to jowl posts. Redundant crown post trusses are also present. Shutter grooves survive in the window opening of a first-floor room on the north-east side.
