Description
The Griffin Inn is a public house built around 1750 to 1760. It is constructed from squared and coursed limestone and features a gabled stone slate roof. The building has a three-unit plan, stands two storeys high with an attic, and has a four-window range. The main entrance has a keyed flat stone arch and a bracketed open pediment above a 20th-century door. To the right, there is a concrete lintel over another 20th-century door. The left bay contains late 19th-century tripartite sash windows with timber lintels, while the other windows have keyed flat stone arches over late 19th-century sashes and late 18th-century six-pane sashes to the right. There is a raised storey band and three gabled roof dormers with late 19th-century two-light casements. The interior has not been inspected.
