The Plough Public House

The Plough Public House is a former house and agricultural building that later became a public house. It dates from the mid 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century, and further changes including a new front, roof, and windows in the 19th century, along with 20th-century additions. The building is timber-framed, with the ground floor refronted in roughcast and the first floor finished in tile-hanging. It has a tiled roof with an off-center and end brick chimney stacks. The structure is two stories tall and features four windows, with 19th-century casements on the front except for one window on the ground floor. There are three doors, with the central door having a hipped tiled weatherhood. The rear elevation has a catslide roof and is partly weatherboarded and partly stone, featuring a small 20th-century gabled extension in stretcher bond brickwork. There is also a late 20th-century gabled extension on the right side elevation.

Inside, internal partitions have been removed on the ground floor, but the left side bay retains a mid 17th-century one and a half inch chamfered spine beam and exposed floor joists. The space for ladder access indicates its original use as a barn or drying floor. The first floor rear wall shows diagonal braces in this bay. Both this bay and the central bay have 19th-century dado plank paneling. The right end bay contains 18th-century floor joists running lengthways and an 18th-century brick fireplace with a wooden bressumer and stone hearth. The first floor displays a visible mid 17th-century wall frame, including the top of the wall frame, tie beams, and jowled upright posts. The roof is reported to have been replaced in softwood in the early 19th century.
