Description
The Admiral Hood, formerly known as The New Inn, is a public house dating from the early 18th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The building features rubble-stone walls and a thatched roof, with roughcast stacks at both the left and right gable ends. It is two storeys high and has four windows, which include three and four-light stone mullions that are decorated with hollow chamfers. There are separate labels above the ground floor windows. The windows have been replaced with 20th-century metal casements that include glazing bars. The front door is located to the left of centre and is framed by moulded stone jambs, topped with a Tudor-arch-type head set in a square surround. There is a stone porch with a pitched stone slab roof and stone gable-coping, which bears the incised initials HAA and the year 1748.
