Description

The Woolpack Inn is a public house dating from the late 17th century, with an extension added in the early 19th century. It features painted brickwork with tile hanging on the left side and an extension made of weatherboarding. The building has a plain tiled roof and follows a lobby entry plan. It stands two storeys tall with an attic on a plinth, topped with a dogtooth cornice and a hipped roof that includes two raking dormers and a central left chimney stack.

On the first floor, there are wooden casement windows and glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor has segmentally headed wooden casement windows and a tripartite glazing bar sash. The right-hand weatherboarded section is windowless but has two prominent canted two-storey bays on the right side. There is a catslide outshot on the left side. A boarded door is located in the centre left, set within a projecting two-storey flat-roofed porch that has a cornice running across the top, along with a painted sign board and an iron lamp above it.

The cellars of the inn are said to have a well-documented tunnel that runs under the road to the nearby church of St. Matthew, which is known for its historical association with smuggling activities.
