Description

The Rising Sun Public House is a public house located on Thame High Street, likely dating from the late 16th century, with a 17th-century addition on the left and later alterations. The building features a rendered exterior, probably over timber framing, and has old plain-tile roofs of varying heights, with a half-hipped roof at the right end. There are 19th-century rebuilt stacks at the rear. The structure is single storey with an attic and has a two-window range, along with a single-bay addition to the left. The entrance features a 20th-century part-glazed door set in a recessed porch at the center. The windows on the left and right are four-pane horned sashes. The left addition has a late 19th-century shop front with a glazed door on the right and a plate-glass window on the left. There are two hipped dormers with lead ridges and two-light wood casements, along with a gabled half-dormer on the left addition featuring a two-light casement. The right side, facing Southern Road, has painted stone rubble on the ground floor and jettied timber framing with render in the attic. The interior has not been inspected.
