Description
The Queens Head Public House is a public house dating from the 14th century, with later alterations. It features rendered timber framing and an old plain-tile roof, along with brick ridge stacks, including a large stack on the right. The building is two stories high and has a three-window range. There is a six-panel door located to the right of the center, topped with a flat hood. The ground floor includes three 3-light casements, while the first floor has two 2-light casements positioned in the center and to the right. The building has cross-gables at the center and right. The left side displays irregular timber framing with jowelled main-posts. Inside, there are jointed base crucks in the alternating roof trusses and arched wind-braces. Some timber framing is visible in the public areas, along with other exposed features such as an ogee-headed door. There is likely an 18th-century cross-gabled wing to the right.
