Description

The King and Queen Inn is a building that underwent 18th-century remodelling of mid-17th-century houses. It features a six-bay structure, likely always serving as an inn, and stands two and a half storeys tall with a stucco front and a band above the ground floor. The roof is made of stone slate and includes a large central brick stack and a gable end chimney on the left side. There are three gabled dormers and the windows are fitted with flush moulded frames for glazing bar sash windows.

The building has a wooden dentil eaves cornice that extends around to the two hipped-roofed two-storey bays. The left-hand bay contains a tower porte-cochere with moulded caps on the posts and a five-light window above, along with large ledged doors. The right-hand bay and the three ground floor bay windows are adorned with reeded pilasters leading into the doors.

Inside the passage of No 16, the west gable wall reveals a close-studded treatment from around 1600 on the ground floor, featuring two low arched doors. There is also a slightly later timber-framed and rendered extension to the south-west. At the rear, the building has two gabled extensions and two half-hipped gables, one of which includes a stone sundial marked with hours and said to be inscribed "W.L.1677". Additionally, there is a pump and modern tile roofing on the rear.
