Description
The Sir John Falstaff Public House dates from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. It is a two-storey building with attics, constructed of painted brick. The roof is a Mansard style, covered in tiles, and incorporates three dormers. An eaves cornice runs around the building. The front has three windows, including two bays with three lights extending through two floors, featuring sashes with intact glazing bars. A simple central doorcase is flanked by narrow windows. The name of the inn reflects the fact that the surrounding hillside was used as a setting for one of Sir John Falstaff’s exploits in a Shakespearean play.
