Description
The Black Knight is a 17th-century building that has undergone later alterations. It features a rendered exterior and a slate roof with eaves. The structure has two storeys and three windows on the first floor, although the central window is blocked. The windows are 3-light leaded iron casements set in wooden frames. There is a central panelled door topped with an arched fanlight, and modern shop windows have been added. The ground floor windows have later tiled pent roofs, and there is a gabled hood above the door.
