The Cherrington

The Cherrington is a former house that has been converted into a public house and restaurant. It dates from the early 18th century and features a rubble stone exterior faced in ashlar, with a Cotswold stone slate roof that has a moulded stone cornice and a coved frieze. The building has two gable stacks, with the original stack on the right and a 20th-century stack on the left. It is a single small range with flanking 20th-century extensions and stands two storeys high.

The façade includes two windows on the upper floor, which are 12-pane sashes with moulded stone architraves, pulvinated friezes, and cornices that are superimposed on the main cornice. The windows have bull-nosed sills and impost blocks at sill level. The central opening on the first floor is blocked and features a plain stone semi-circular headed architrave, with a keystone decorated with a lion's mask and plain impost blocks. On the ground floor, there are two similar windows and a central doorway that has a 20th-century glazed door. The only remaining feature of the original doorcase is the moulded lintel. The outline of a later, now removed, steeply gabled porch is clearly visible on the stonework above the door.
