Description
The Old Market Tavern is a pair of attached houses that have been converted into a public house. Originally built in the 17th century, the building was refronted in the mid-18th century. It features a roughcast exterior with limestone dressings, a central brick stack, and two hipped roofs. The façade includes rusticated pilasters leading to a plain parapet. The 20th-century public house front has six-panel doors with rectangular overlights on either side of two sets of triple six-over-six pane sash windows. Above these, there are six-over-six pane horned sashes in flush boxes, and small hipped dormers with casement windows on both roofs. The interior was remodeled in the late 20th century.
