The Anchor Inn

The Anchor Inn is a public house that originated as a house in the 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th century and an extension added. It features white-painted roughcast, likely over brick, and has a red tile roof. The building has a double-depth plan under a two-span roof and is two storeys high with three symmetrical bays. It has a plinth and a central doorway with a modern gabled porch. On the ground floor, there are two tall two-light casements, and above, three shorter casements. The roof is half-hipped at the left end, which also has an external chimney, while the right end features a gable chimney. To the left, there is a single-storey extension that includes one similar window and a half-hipped roof. The rear 19th-century range is not of special interest. Inside, the front range retains elements of a late 17th-century timber-framed two-unit building, including two posts at the left gable wall, remnants of a timber-framed rear wall with posts and rail featuring vacant mortices, a chamfered spine beam in the left half, a chamfered lateral beam in the right half, and a brick inglenook fireplace with a chamfered bressummer.
