Description
The Plough Public House is an early 18th century and 19th century public house. It is constructed of limestone rubble with wooden lintels and has a roof covered in Stonesfield slate, with a rebuilt brick gable stack. The building originally comprised two units, later extended to three units plus a service range. The two-window front of the earliest section features a central plank door sheltered by an old stone-slated canopy. There is a three-light casement window to the left, a two-light casement to the right, and further two-light casement windows at first floor, all of which have been renewed. An added bay to the right has similar windows. A stack is located to the left of the roof. There is also a single-storey range to the right, covered in Welsh slate. Inside, the building has chamfered beams and an open fireplace. The building is described in the Victoria County History of Oxfordshire, Volume VI, page 269.
