The Chequers Inn

The Chequers Inn is a public house dating from the early 18th century. The front is constructed of red and vitreous chequer brick, while the rest of the building is made of flint with brick dressings. It features an old tile roof and flanking external brick chimneys. The building is two storeys high with an attic and consists of three bays. The front has a flint plinth, a first-floor band course made of finely bonded brick, and a coved wooden eaves cornice. The windows are paired barred wooden casements with gauged brick heads, and the outer windows have 19th-century board shutters. There are two flat-roofed dormers and central double half-glazed doors that are topped by a 20th-century flat wooden hood supported by brackets. To the left, there is a narrow brick extension around the chimney, and to the right, a single-storey flint extension with dentil brick eaves and a hipped roof. At the rear, there is a central brick catslide projection. Inside, the left room features a bolection-moulded stone fireplace.
