The Black Horse Public House

The Black Horse Public House is a building of group value, dating from 1673. A late 18th or early 19th century extension and a rear wing were added later. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with a gabled stone slate roof and brick end stacks. It has a 2-unit plan. The front of the building has one storey and an attic, with a 2-window front. There is a timber lintel over a 20th-century door, flanked by late 19th-century square bay windows. Dormers are present with 2-light casements. A two-storey bay, also from the early 19th century, is located to the right, featuring a 20th-century door and windows. A late 18th-century two-storey rear wing is constructed of similar materials. Inside, there is a stop-chamfered bressumer over an open fireplace, with inglenook seals to the left. A stepped-ovolo-moulded beam is located to the left, and a stop-chamfered beam to the right, both supported by a central cased post with scrolled decoration to the jowl. The first floor was not inspected but is believed to be of interest. The inn was originally built for William Miles, a retired soldier, and his wife Susanah.
