Description
The Post Office in Thornton Rust is a house that is partly used as a shop, dating from 1805. It is constructed of coursed rubble and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and two bays, with quoins at the corners. The central entrance consists of a part-glazed four-panel door set within an ashlar surround, which has "G.C. 1805" inscribed on the lintel, along with a pulvinated frieze and cornice. Below the ashlar slab lintels, there are four-pane sash windows. Additional features include gutter brackets, shaped kneelers, and end stacks.
