Lord Nelson Public House, And The North Wing

The Lord Nelson Public House, originally a house, dates to around 1700. It is located on the east side of High Street in Marshfield. The main part of the building is constructed of ashlar and features a Cotswold stone slate roof with coped raised verges and a moulded eaves cornice. It consists of three bays, with channelled end pilasters and a moulded string above the ground floor. The windows are 8-pane sash windows set within moulded architraves, with panelled aprons. The original front door, on the right-hand side, has six panels and sits within a bolection moulded surround, featuring a decorative scroll and flower frieze, all sheltered by a carved stone shell porch. A later 20th-century door has also been added to the right.

To the north is a wing dating from the early to mid 19th century. This wing is built of ashlar and has a half-hipped slate roof. It has two bays with glazing bar sash windows – a 16-pane window to the left and a smaller bay window to the right – and a central 20th-century door protected by a flat stone hood supported on brackets. The building represents a local example of provincial baroque architecture, and may incorporate an earlier structure, situated in a prominent location at the end of the village street.
