The Hare And Hounds

The Hare and Hounds is an inn dating from the late 17th century and early 18th century, constructed from rubble stone with stone tiled roofs. It features a coped west gable, a sundial at the west end, a ridge stack, an east end stack, and a rear wing with a coped south gable. The north front is two storeys high with flush quoins at the north-west angle. The central door is set in a chamfered and stopped surround, topped with a hood on brackets. To the left, there are two ground floor two-light recessed ovolo-moulded windows with hoodmoulds, and on the first floor, a pair of early 18th century twelve-pane sash windows in raised bead-moulded surrounds. To the right, there are ovolo-moulded mullion windows, one three-light and one two-light on each floor, all with hoodmoulds. The upper three-light window has a small dormer gable above it. The west end wall features a three-light recessed chamfered upper window and a three-light recessed ovolo-moulded window below, both with hoodmoulds, along with a fine bolection-moulded doorcase to the right, topped with a cornice. The rear wing, which is one and a half storeys, has a broad coped dormer gable over two twelve-pane sash windows in raised bead-moulded surrounds, and a single moulded cornice above. The ground floor has a similar pair of windows and cornice, with a blank moulded oval panel to the left. There is also a large 19th century south-east rear wing, built of painted rubble and two storeys high with a slate roof.
