Description
The Golden Cross is a building from the 16th to 17th century located on the west side of High Street in Long Crendon. It has two storeys and features a timber frame with colour washed brick infill, including some herringbone patterns. The roof is thatched in part and tiled in other sections. The building has an L-shape with a gabled wing on the right that faces the street. This wing includes a canted bay window on the right and a modern sash window on the left, which has replaced a door. There is a central sash window on the first floor. The left-hand wing has a 3-light gabled dormer in the tiled section of the roof and a 2-light window below. A lean-to addition is present in the angle of the L-shape. Additionally, there is one sash window on the first floor of the south gable and a 3-light casement window in the upper part of the north gable.
