The Horse And Groom Public House

The Horse and Groom is a public house dated 1615, though it likely incorporates elements from the mid-17th century and was remodeled in the early 19th century. It features a timber frame with an exposed close-stud pattern and herringbone brick infilling on the left-hand return front. The remainder of the building is covered in whitewashed roughcast, with brick and flint stacks and a 20th-century plain tiled roof. The structure has two storeys and attics, with a triple-gabled front over cellars.

The right side has a corbelled end stack, while a smaller stack is on the left. A notable 17th-century triple stack with ribbed and diagonally placed shafts is located at the rear, right of center, topped with corbelled, star-shaped caps. Each gable features a three-light stone-mullioned attic casement window with diamond-pane leaded glass. On the first floor, there is a 10-light mullioned and transomed diamond-pane window on each outer gable, and a square bay window on the ground floor to the left under a hipped roof, with a 10-light window to the right.

The center of the building has a two-storey square bay break beneath a modillioned pediment, which includes a date roundel in the tympanum. Below this, there is a 10-light mullioned and transomed window on each floor. A half-glazed door is located to the left of center under a flat hood supported by brackets, and there is another door to the right in a half-glazed porch featuring an arched opening, diamond-pane leaded lights, and moulded bargeboards on the gable. A single-storey extension is present on the right.

Inside, the ground floor was originally divided into three rooms, with a large chamfered bridging joist at one end supported on moulded brackets. The original newel post, approximately 8 meters high, remains at the stair, and the roof features staggered butt purlins.
