The Raven Inn

The Raven Inn is a 17th-century inn constructed with timber framing and painted brick, which has been partly cased and extended in painted brick during the 19th century. It features a hipped slate roof with a ridge stack. The building is two storeys high and has a four-window range, with four pairs of upper casement windows. The ground floor has a door to the left, located within a flat-roofed forward extension, and two pairs of twelve-pane sash windows flanking the main door in a gabled brick porch. The left two bays of the front are made of brick, while the right two display exposed square framing with angle braces beneath the first-floor sill level. There are single-storey extensions from the late 19th or 20th century to the left, and the north end wall shows exposed framing. The rear wall is made of red brick and has a continuous ground floor lean-to. Inside, the layout follows a lobby-entry plan, featuring a chamfered and scroll-stopped spine beam in the room to the left and another similar beam in the left end room, indicating that the painted brick is likely a recasing rather than a product of the 19th century. The inn is said to retain original roof beams and a framed internal gable.
