Ye Olde Chequers Inn

Ye Olde Chequers Inn is a very good example of a 15th-century timber-framed building located on the west side of High Street. The inn has three storeys and five windows, built in four sections, with two projecting and two recessed. The southernmost section features the top of a pointed arch leading to the basement, which now serves as a shoot for goods. The ground floor has a studded oriel window with six lights, wooden mullions, a transom, a cove beneath it, and a moulded cornice above. The first floor projects on the protruding ends of the floor joists and brackets, featuring wide curved braces and modern casement windows with lozenge-shaped panes. The second floor also projects, with a gable above that has decorative curved timbers arranged oppositely to the braces below, forming a semi-circle, along with cusped bargeboards.

The second section is recessed, with the ground floor now built out to include a modern window, and above it, there is a studded five-light modern casement window and a dormer. The third section, which contains the doorways, has a first floor that projects on brackets with a cove beneath, curved braces, a sash window, and a dormer with a casement window. The northern section previously had a jettied first floor but now has the ground floor underbuilt with two modern windows; it features curved braces and two sash windows on the first floor, with a gable above that is lower than the others, containing one casement window, curved timbers arranged oppositely to the braces below, and cusped bargeboards. The building has a tiled roof, with intact glazing bars in the sash windows and two modern doorways.
