The Black Boy

The Black Boy is a public house dating from the 17th century, which has been altered and extended over time. It features a timber frame with brick infill, and part of the building has been rebuilt in brick. The right gable showcases a whitewashed rubble stone lower storey with a jettied floor above. The roof is half-hipped and covered with old tiles, and there is a brick chimney located to the left of the tall central bay.

The building has an L-plan layout, with a two-storey bay at the center of the north front, a single-storey 18th-century bay to the left, and a cross wing that includes one storey and an attic to the right. The central bay contains three-light leaded casements and a 20th-century door to the left. A gabled timber porch with a semi-circular arch and a moulded frame is located at the front. The left bay features a three-light barred wooden casement, while the right bay has a three-light leaded casement with a segmental head. There is a 19th-century brick extension at the far end of the cross wing and a 20th-century extension in the rear angle. Inside, the building has stop-chamfered spine beams.
