The Dinton Hermit Public House

The Dinton Hermit Public House is a public house dating from the late 17th century, with some alterations. It is constructed of coursed rubblestone and features an old tile roof. The building has three bays and stands at one and a half storeys high. The central entrance consists of a board door set in an opening that has been reduced by brick jambs. To the right of the entrance is a three-light casement window, while the left bay has a two-light casement window, both with oak lintels above. The building is adorned with three gabled eaves dormers; the central dormer has three lights, while the outer dormers each have two lights. There are gable stacks, with the right stack made of old thin bricks. At the rear, there is a single-storey extension, and to the left, there is another extension with short tiled pitches, both dating from around the 1960s. Inside, the pub features an inglenook and stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. The name of the pub commemorates John Bigg, who lived as a hermit in a cave on the grounds of Dinton Hall from 1629 to 1696.
