Description
The Eagle and Child public house dates to around 1485. It is a timber-framed building, originally rubble-built, and now largely obscured by a modern stuccoed facade. The building has three gables at eaves level, each containing two-light casement windows. The roof is covered in Welsh slate. A passageway is located on the south side. The ground floor features a four-centred arched doorway on each side of which is a two-light casement window. First-floor windows are modern two-light casements. At the rear, on the first floor, is a tall, late 17th-century mullioned and transomed window within a roughcast wall, and featuring a moulded frame. The building forms a group with Nos. 31 to 46 and Nos. 49 to 56 St Giles’ Street.
