Description
The Plough Public House is a homestead, and has operated as a public house since before 1867. It dates to 1694, as indicated by a datestone bearing “TEB”. The building is constructed of roughcast on stone, with stone quoining, and has a stone slate roof. It is two storeys and an attic, comprising 5 bays originally, with a later extension of 2 bays to the right. A 20th-century rear addition is also present. The central entrance features a pair of doors and a 20th-century canopy, above which is a blind window. The building has 19th-century timber cross windows with painted stucco surrounds. Two stacks are visible at the back, serving back-to-back fireplaces. The eaves are wide and sprocketed, with the roof being hipped to the left, and featuring two small hipped dormers. The extension is colourwashed and has a stone slate roof, with 20th-century ground floor windows. The building is said to have once functioned as a candle factory. A long range of stables and outbuildings is situated to the rear.
