The Windsor Castle Public House

The Windsor Castle Public House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a public house. It likely dates from the late 16th century and underwent alterations in the 17th century, with significant modern additions at the left end and rear that are not of special interest. The exterior features scored render painted white, which is probably applied over brick cladding of a timber frame, a red tile roof, and a white-painted brick chimney.

The building has a three-unit plan, originally single-depth and likely of smoke-bay type. It stands at two low storeys and has three bays. The doorway is located at the right-hand end and is topped with a simple wooden canopy. The ground floor has casement windows with 2, 3, and 2 lights, while the first floor features similar windows, except for the first which has 4-pane sashed glazing. The wall plate and ends of the rafters are visible, and the roof is half-hipped at the left end, with a large clustered chimney stack on the ridge between the second and third bays. There is also a doorway in the left return wall, with modern single-storey additions extending from it. The rear of the building is covered by these additions.

Inside, the first and second bays at ground floor have been combined into one room, likely due to the removal of a partition. The second bay contains a chamfered spine beam with cyma stops and joists that have similar decoration, as well as a very large inglenook with a chamfered bressummer and a built-in side bench. At the first floor, the wall-posts, wall plate, large cambered tie-beams, and wind braces of a four-bay timber frame are visible. The bays vary in width, with the third bay, which contains the chimney stack, being approximately 2 meters wide, while the others are about 3 meters wide.
