Description
The Griffin Public House is a public house dating from the early to mid-18th century, with a roof added in the 19th century. It is constructed of regularly coursed limestone, which is now painted, and features a slate roof. The building originally had a three-unit plan with a cross passage and stands two storeys high. The façade includes a three-window range of 19th-century casements set under wooden lintels. To the left of the centre, there is a 20th-century plank door with an arched head surround and a wooden lintel. The building has brick stacks at the ridge and ends. Inside, there are chamfered ceiling beams and remnants of an open fireplace. The Griffin Public House is included for its group value.
