Description

The Plough Inn is a public house located on Rectory Road in Great Haseley. It dates from the early and late 18th century and is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with brick dressings, topped by a thatched roof and brick stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan, featuring a two-window front that includes a sash window with a gauged brick flat arch and a double sash window with a segmental arch, situated below two gabled two-light dormers. There is a projecting chimney on the left gable above a small single-storey extension. A two-storey wing extends to the rear on the right, with single-storey ranges adjoining it. The rear wing has "Antolus/1795" inscribed on its quoin. Inside, the pub features chamfered and stopped beams, a large open fireplace with a bressumer and bread oven, and extensive cellars. There is also an interior datestone inscribed "W+R/17 J(?)95". The Plough Inn is said to have been recorded as a public house since the 16th century.
