Description
Trip the Daisy is a late 17th-century house located in Ashbury. It is constructed of uncoursed sarsen rubble with chalk dressings and has a stone slate roof, with brick stacks. The house follows a two-unit lobby entry plan and has a symmetrical two-storey, three-window front. The central entrance features a 6-panelled door from the early 19th century, with a bracketed flat hood above. Late 19th-century three-light casement windows replace earlier three-light stone mullioned windows, each with square hood moulds. The gabled roof has a ridge stack and a stack at one end. A late 19th-century stone plaque above the door depicts a hound jumping over a daisy, reflecting the period when the house served as the Daisy Trip Inn. The interior has not been inspected. Historical information about the property can be found in The History of Ashbury by D & E Disbury, published in 1968.
