The Dolphin Inn

The Dolphin Inn is an inn that has been converted into a house, with a datestone indicating it was built in 1727. The front is made of ashlar ironstone, while the sides and rear are constructed from regularly coursed ironstone rubble. The front features a stone slate roof, and the rear has a Welsh slate roof, with two brick stacks at the ends. The building has a three-unit plan and is two storeys high, with six windows on the first floor, one of which is blocked. An off-centre door to the right is a four-panelled design with a distinctive canopy above it. There are three windows to the left and two to the right, all of which are wooden mullioned and transomed windows with keystoned flat arches. A four-light stone mullioned window is located in the cellar on the left side. The windows are noted for their elaborate wrought iron casement fasteners. A flat band runs along the first floor, and there are stone copings on the roof. At the rear, there is a stone sundial on the right end. Inside, the layout includes a kitchen, hall, and parlour, along with spacious cellars featuring a stone barrel vault. The Dolphin was originally built as a farmhouse by James Eden, a prominent farmer in the parish during the 1720s. The interior has not been inspected.
