The Five Bells

The Five Bells is a public house dating from the late 18th century. It features a painted brick exterior and a plain tiled roof. The building consists of two parallel ranges, with the rear range likely being a later addition. It is two storeys high and has a brick dentil cornice beneath a hipped roof, which has a stack at the left end. On the first floor, there are three glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor has two sash windows with segmental heads. The entrance is marked by central half-glazed double doors set within a glazed porch. At the left end, there is a painted ragstone hipped crosswing that includes a wooden casement window and a boarded, recessed door. The interior has been altered over time. Originally, the building served as the Parish Poorhouse, as noted in Igglesden, 1913.
