Description
The Greyhound Tavern is an inn that dates from the 18th century or possibly earlier in the 19th century. It is constructed of banded chalkstone and brick, with the front colourwashed, and features a tiled roof. The building has two storeys and a cellar, consisting of three bays, which were extended in the 19th century by an additional two narrow bays on the right side. The central entrance is a half-glazed door, and there are 19th-century timber casement windows set in segmental-headed openings. The gable stacks from the original construction have been rebuilt. At the rear, there is an outshut also made of chalkstone, along with a 20th-century single-storey wing on the right.
