The Fox And Hounds Inn

The Fox and Hounds Inn is an inn that dates back to the late 17th century, with extensions added in the 19th and late 20th centuries. It is constructed of rubble stone with a limestone ashlar addition and features a double Roman tiled roof, with artificial Welsh slates on the 19th-century section, along with stone stacks and coped verges. The building is laid out in an L-plan and is two storeys high, with a one-window 17th-century front facing north.

On the ground floor, there is a half-glazed door to the right and a 16-pane sash window in a beaded architrave to the left. The first floor has a 3-light cyma-mullioned casement. The 19th-century range that projects to the right includes 12-pane sash windows. The left return, which is the gable end facing the road of the 17th-century range, features a 12-pane sash window on the ground floor in a beaded architrave, a 2-light cyma-mullioned casement with a hoodmould on the first floor, and a single-light cyma-moulded casement in the attic.

The rear, which was formerly the main front, has a combination of windows including a 3-light and two 2-light ovolo-mullioned casements, along with a moulded doorway on the ground floor that is now part of a 20th-century lean-to addition. There is a continuous string course and additional 2-light and 3-light mullioned casements on the first floor, with a gabled wing from the 19th century attached to the rear right. The west gable end of the 17th-century range has 20th-century single-storey additions, a blocked 2-light mullioned window on the first floor, and a single ovolo-moulded casement in the attic. The rear of the 19th-century wing also has a lean-to addition.

Inside, the 17th-century range features a bolection-moulded stone fireplace at the east gable end and an 18th-century beaded stone fireplace surround with rounded corners at the west, along with chamfered beams. The inn has been licensed since the mid-18th century.
