Plough Cottage The Plough Inn

The Plough Inn and adjacent cottage, originally possibly a pair of houses, dates to 1690, with extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble, with alternating angle quoins, the 18th-century section painted. It has stone slate roofs; the 1690 section has a hipped roof.

The original house, likely always divided, is a two-story range with an L-shaped extension to the north, dating from the 18th century, and a further parallel gabled range added in the 19th century. The 1690 section originally had three, likely four, windows; the right bay is now obscured by the 19th-century addition. The windows have slightly cambered stone heads and mostly 19th-century casements. A boarded door with a cambered head is located to the left of the second window from the left, and a similar infilled doorway is partly concealed by the 19th-century addition to the right of the right window. An infilled doorway immediately to the right of the left window is not original. A central axial ridge stack features a red brick top and a datestone inscribed "T/IM/1690" on its moulded base; a stepped lateral stack is located to the left return with a red brick shaft, and a similar extruded end stack is positioned to the right, also with a moulded base. An oval-shaped window, with a dripstone, is set directly below the eaves on the left return. The rear of the building has a mixture of 19th and 20th-century casements, and a similar oval-shaped window is located below the eaves on the left return.

The 19th-century addition, formerly a shop, has two 20th-century casements with cambered heads (likely reused from the front wall of the 1690 range) on the first floor, and a former shop front with a door on the left and an infilled doorway to the right. The Plough Inn itself has 20th-century casements on each floor, flanking a central four-panel door under a gabled, trellised porch. These ground-floor windows have cambered painted brick heads and keystones. A narrow external red brick end stack is located to the left, and an integral end stack with a moulded base and red brick shaft is on the right.

Inside The Plough Inn, the ground floor has two chamfered cross beams and a stone-flag floor. A room on the right ground floor of the 1690 section, now part of the public house, features a chamfered spine beam with run-out stops. The 20th-century addition to the rear of the main range is not of special architectural interest.
