Description
The King's Head Hotel is a public house located on Church Street in Falmouth. It dates from the 17th or 18th century and was remodeled and extended in the mid-19th century. The exterior features incised stucco with quoin strips and a moulded parapet cornice, topped with steep scantle slate roofs on the front range and porch, which still retains many original crested clay ridge tiles. There are two stuccoed stacks on the left side of the building. The hotel has a deep plan with a pair of rear wings and stands three storeys tall, displaying a three-to-one window arrangement that includes a three-storey porch on the right. The upper floors feature late 19th-century horned sash windows, including a first-floor oriel window with a moulded cornice on the left-hand return wing. The ground floor has two 18th or early 19th-century tripartite hornless sashes, with the glazing bars removed, and a quadrant porch supported by panelled pilasters, leading to a panelled door. Inside, the ground floor features 19th-century joinery, while earlier features may still be present on the upper floors.
