Description

No 122 on High Street is a Grade II* listed parish room, formerly known as the Tiger Inn. It likely dates from the 14th century as a jettied open hall, which was ceiled over in the 16th century. A later 16th-century L-wing was added to the rear, while the front was refronted in the early 19th century and restored in the 20th century. The west front is constructed of red brick on a brick plinth, with a roof featuring tiled upper courses and Horsham stone slab lower courses. The building has two storeys and five windows, which include five mid-19th century sashes, some of which are tripartite, with horns and cambered heads. The mid-19th century doorcase retains cornice brackets and Tuscan pilasters, and there is a sawtooth brick cornice.

A large late 16th-century multiple filleted brick chimney stack is located on the ridge at the front, with cruciform stacks at the end of each wing. The north elevation displays exposed close-studding near the street and square framing on the late 16th-century wing, which has been further extended with sandstone facing to a timber-framed interior. This wing features two tripartite mullioned windows. Inside the west wing, there are massive jowled posts and a tie beam on the first floor, along with a sooted chamfered crownpost about 9 inches in diameter with quadripartite bracing. The ground floor showcases a fine inserted roll moulded ceiling from the early 16th century, a dragon beam, and a large fireplace with a wooden bressummer that has run-out stops. The north wing includes a late 16th-century stone fireplace on the first floor, featuring a four-centred arch with quatrefoil stops, and much exposed square framing with lamb's tongue stops. The building is noted to have been owned by the Michelbourne family in the 15th century.
