Description
The Queens Head Public House is an inn that dates from the 16th and 18th centuries. It features a timber frame that is faced with painted brick from the 18th century and has a tiled roof. The building is two storeys high, with cellars and attics, and consists of three bays, along with an annex at the north end made of panelled flintwork, which is also two storeys and two bays. There is a carriage arch in the right bay and an entrance opposite the stack, featuring a wide door with a margin glazed panel. The windows are timber casements with four and three lights, and there is a plat band and coved eaves. The roof has two hipped dormers. The major stack is located on the left gable, with a centre stack and a third stack above the room over the carriageway. The annex includes two- and three-light windows and has a hipped roof.
Inside, the left main room contains a 16th-century stone fireplace with a Tudor head and roses in the spandrels. The room features chamfered spine beams with scoop stops, while the right room has an inferior beam.
