Description
The Barley Mow Tavern is a public house situated in Long Wittenham, Clifton Hampden. It dates back to 1352, with significant alterations and additions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is cruck-framed, with timber framing visible on the right side. The left side is of painted brick, while the right features painted brick infill between timber framing. The roof is thatched, with a half-hipped section to the right and a hipped section to the left, and a brick ridge stack to the left of centre.
The building is single-storied with an attic, and has a four-window front. A plank door with a segmental brick head sits to the left of centre, accompanied by a two-light casement window to its right. Another plank door is located to the right of centre, with a three-light wood casement and a two-light wood casement, both with segmental brick heads, positioned to the left and right respectively. A central two-light wood casement also has a segmental brick head. There is a gabled dormer to the left and a swept dormer in the centre. The right return features a full cruck truss.
Inside, an open fireplace is found on the ground floor centre.
