Description
The Sun Public House is a building likely from the 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It features whitewashed rendering and a pitched tile roof, with a chequer brick stack. The structure has two storeys and attics, and the first floor includes three canted bays. The ground floor projects under a pitched tile roof and has, from left to right, a half-glazed door with an oblong fanlight, a shop front with glazing bars, a tripartite sash window with glazing bars, half-glazed double doors with an oblong fanlight framed by pilasters and topped with an elaborate moulded cornice on decorative brackets, followed by another tripartite sash window with glazing bars. The building also has three gabled attic dormers with tile-hung cheeks and sash windows featuring glazing bars. The Sun Public House, along with Nos 65 to 85 and Nos 88 to 90, forms a group with the Church of St Peter and St Paul, as well as with Nos 42 to 64 on the south side.
