The Jolly Tinners

The Jolly Tinners is a house that later became an inn and was used as a home for destitute children in the early 1900s. It dates from the early to mid-19th century and features granite dressings. The building has a half-hipped roof covered with grouted scantle slate and brick chimneys on the side walls.

The layout consists of a double depth plan with two front rooms, the left room being wider. A passage leads to a stair hall located at the rear left of the middle, with a kitchen behind the right room, a pantry at the rear left, and a shallow room, possibly a butler's pantry, between the left front and rear rooms. The front rooms originally had sliding partitions, likely added for use as a dormitory during its time as a children's home.

The exterior is two storeys high with a regular four-window south front, featuring a doorway beneath the third from the left first-floor window, which is blind. It retains original hornless 16-pane sash windows at both the front and rear, although the doors were replaced in the 20th century.

Inside, the building has seen little alteration since it was built, preserving much of the original carpentry and joinery, including six-panel doors and an arch between the entrance passage and stair hall. The stairs were renewed in the 20th century.
