Stags Head Inn

The Stags Head Inn, dated 1834, is a three-storey Victorian building with an earlier, lower section on its east end. The earlier section, likely from the 18th century, features a central door with a small wooden fretted porch and two sash windows on the ground floor, and three on each of the upper floors. The ground and first floors have louvred shutters. The external wall is of scored stucco, with a flag roof. The later, higher section is constructed of stone rubble with quoins and a slate roof; it incorporates a four-storeyed octagonal tower on the west angle, topped with a pyramidal roof and a wind vane. Sash windows are present throughout. A lintel of one window is painted with the words "Post horses for hire”. The building forms part of a significant group of village buildings including the Parish Church of St Martin, White House, Robinson Place, New Hall Inn, Lowside, and Fold Head, creating an important village centre.
