Description
The Duke of Cumberland's Head Public House is a public house that likely dates back to the 17th century and was remodeled or enlarged in the early 18th century. It is constructed from coursed squared marlstone and features wooden lintels, with thatch and Welsh-slate roofs topped by brick ridge stacks. The building has a three-unit outshut plan, probably with a cross passage, and includes an added rear wing.
It stands two storeys tall and has a four-window front that appears to be from two or three different building phases. The first two bays feature wide windows, one of which retains a three-light 19th-century casement. The third and fourth bays have smaller renewed casements on the first floor, along with a 19th or 20th-century canted bay window to the right. The entrance in the third bay is concealed by a 20th-century wooden porch, while there is a secondary entrance with a plank door to the right of the fourth bay. Brick stacks are positioned on either side of the second bay.
To the left, there is a lower slated outbuilding range that is now part of the accommodation and includes a vehicular entry at the extreme left. The rear wing, which returns from the right of the main range, is mostly from the 20th century but incorporates an earlier structure. Inside, there is a large inglenook fireplace with a chamfered bressumer and a stop-chamfered spine beam. The public house has been recorded as such since 1774 and is included for its group value.
