The Rising Sun Public House

The Rising Sun Public House is located on Bridge Street and dates back to around 1600, with restorations made in the 19th century. The cellars are remnants of an earlier building that served as the Bishop's court in the Soke. The rear section of the pub is from the late 18th century and has been altered in the 20th century. The front part features timber framing, with a ground floor made of painted brick and a first floor that is plastered with a jetty and a moulded wooden bressumer. The left gable has plaster designed to imitate masonry and a fishscale tiled gable, topped with a tiled roof. The ground floor includes three 19th-century casement windows and a double door. The right side elevation displays a timber-framed gable with fishscale tiles above and plaster below that imitates masonry. Attached to the left is a converted 19th-century stable made of painted brick with a slate roof and a four-light casement window. The rear addition, built in late 18th-century red brick in stretcher bond, has a hipped tiled roof, although the south wall was renovated in the 20th century. Inside the front part, there is a stone barrel-vaulted cellar with two double mullioned stone windows and a Tudor arched door. An ogee-headed niche is located outside. This building originally served as the prison of the Bishop's court. The ground floor features some exposed early 17th-century square framing, a stone chimney piece with a wooden bressumer, and an 18th-century brick wall with a cambered fireplace.
