The Mitre Public House

The Mitre Public House is an inn that dates from the mid to late 17th century and has been altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone, with some timber-framing, and features a plain-tile roof. There are brick and stone lateral stacks. The building has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, displaying a three-window range.

To the right of the centre is a wide, old plank door with two panel mouldings, set within a moulded wood surround and sheltered by a 20th-century gabled wood porch. There is a 12-pane sash window to the ground floor to the right of the porch, while the other ground and first-floor windows are wood mullion and transom windows. The ground floor windows have flat-arched heads, and the first-floor windows have wood lintels. The building is topped with three gabled roof dormer windows.

To the left, there is a single-storey painted brick extension with a lean-to roof. The rear elevation features a large stone lateral stack with rebuilt brick flues, a small rendered two-storey shallow wing to the right of the stack, and some timber-framing with square panels and brick infill.

Inside, the ground-floor rooms are supported by diamond stop-chamfered spine beams. The middle room contains a large open fireplace with a bressumer, while a small room at the right end has a corner fireplace. There is a stone cellar, and the staircase leading from the ground floor to the attic has been partly rearranged in the 20th century, featuring barleysugar twist balusters on the upper flight along with vases and serpentine splat balusters. The roof is supported by a three-bay collar truss.
