Dolphin Inn

The Dolphin Inn is a coaching inn, now a public house, likely dating from the early to mid-18th century, with extensions and alterations made around 1900 and in the late 20th century. The original 18th-century core is constructed of painted brick in a Flemish bond pattern. The additions from around 1900 have tile-hung gables with decorative bands; all have plain tile roofs. The building is two storeys, with the original 18th-century section including a loft.

The original 18th-century block has a single-storey bay to its right and a wing to the rear right. A range was added to the rear left around 1900, along with a single-storey wing set back on the left, and a two-storey former stable range on the right, featuring a gable end. Most of the windows are from around 1900 and have wood mullions, transoms, and four-pane casements, with stepped tile sills. The original 18th-century block has two wide, flat, brick-arched windows on each floor, with those on the first floor flanking a bracketed pub sign. It has stepped and cogged eaves, and a brick end stack to the right. The single-storey bay to the right has an 18th-century door consisting of two raised and fielded panels, and a two-light window. The former stable range has a six-light window to the first floor, bargeboards, and a rear ridge stack. The single-storey range set back on the left has a recessed pent porch at the left end and a large window to its right, continued across a canted corner with a smaller window on its right.

The left return of the 18th-century block features three-light windows to the ground and first floors, the latter under a moulded dripmould, a 16-pane sash with an exposed sash box to the gable. The rear has an 18th-century wing; its gable end is mostly tile-hung in the 20th century, with a three-light window and door to the ground floor, a two-light window to the first floor, and a three-light loft window. It has a half-hipped roof with a cross ridge stack. A blocked segmental header-brick arched window is visible on the left return, with other windows inserted.

Inside the original 18th-century range is an old two-panel cupboard door with an H-hinge, leading to a loft which contains a fireplace, chamfered butt purlins, and one remaining old principal rafter truss. There is documentary evidence showing the building was used as an Inn (called the Dolphin and Chequer) in 1763.
