Description
The Wellington Public House is a public house that likely dates from the 17th century or earlier, with remodels from the 19th century. It features rendered stone rubble walls and slated roofs, with some red crested ridge tiles on the right side of the front roof. The building has a rendered chimney with a good pot on the rear roof slope to the right, and a red brick chimney on the rear gable of the right wing.
The structure has a U-shaped plan, consisting of a single-depth front range with two long rear wings. There is evidence of a cart entrance that has since been infilled, located off-centre to the right of the front range. The building stands two storeys high and has a plain five-window front with visible masonry markings and pilaster strips at each end. The ground storey windows are irregular in size and height, featuring mostly plain sashes. Notably, the left-hand window has a single glazing bar in the upper sash, while the third window from the left has a two-paned fixed sash. A wide doorway, located in the second bay from the right, has four-panelled double doors. The upper storey windows are two-light eight-paned wood casements, with external wooden shutters that were likely added in the late 20th century.
In the rear courtyard, there are old sash windows, mostly with single glazing bars. The interior was only inspected in the public bars on the ground floor, where exposed masonry was noted, but no particular features of interest were found. The Wellington Public House is recognized as the best surviving example of pre-19th century vernacular architecture in the main street.
