The Three Cups Public House

The Three Cups Public House is a public house dating from the 17th century, with a re-fronting that occurred in the late 19th century. It is constructed from rendered limestone rubble, featuring an ashlar left-hand gable stack and a slate roof, with stone slate at the rear. The building has a U-shaped plan that includes an early 19th-century southwest wing flanking a rear yard.

The exterior consists of two storeys and a basement, with a three-window range. The central doorway is topped by a bracketed hipped canopy and has a half-glazed door. On the ground floor, there are double four-light casements, one on the left and two on the right. The first floor features left-hand sashes with three panes each, and one sash on the right with three panes. The rendered early 19th-century left-hand gable has a rubble range behind it, characterized by large, thin quoins at the end gable, and a rear section with a double Roman tile roof. This section includes a left-hand double sash with timber lintels, a right-hand 20th-century casement, and a first-floor left-hand six-over-six pane sash.

The right-hand gable return displays a right-hand jamb and a rubble cill course from a former two-centre carriage arch. There is a first-floor 19th-century casement with a stay bar, and to the right, a 19th-century shop window located in the lower rear 17th-century wing.

Inside, there are details such as chamfered, stopped ceiling beams. The upper floors have not been seen but are reported to have been re-roofed in the 19th century. Historically, the right-hand rear wing likely extended to include No. 2 St Mary's Street.
