Description
The Ship Inn is a public house dating from the 18th century, with a refronting from the mid-19th century. It features stucco over rubble walls, stone quoins, brick lateral stacks, and a triple Roman tiled roof that is hipped to the right. The building has a double-depth plan and is L-shaped at the rear on the right. It stands two storeys high and has a five-window range. The symmetrical front displays rusticated quoins, a cornice with large dentils, and a parapet. There is a central doorway flanked by flat-headed windows set in segmental-arched architraves with ears and shoulders; the central window above the doorway is blocked. The building has stacks on the gable and hip, with a 20th-century addition on the left. The elevation facing Ship Lane is roughcast and has scattered windows. The interior is a 20th-century public house design.
