Description
The Black Horse Inn is a public house dating from 1674, with a later 17th-century stair turret and 19th-century extensions. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone, although the main range is now rendered and painted. The roofs are made of Collyweston, Welsh, and artificial slate. Originally, the building had an L-shaped plan and is two storeys high with a three-window range.
On the right side, there is a 17th-century, two-storey, five-light, ovolo-moulded stone mullion canted bay window, which features a gablet above with an ashlar parapet and kneelers. The other windows are 20th-century casements with glazing bars and rendered heads. The central door, also from the 20th century, has a similar head. The building has ashlar gable parapets, and there is a remnant of an ashlar stack that has been rendered, projecting from the right gable, along with a brick stack at the left end. The datestone is located on the bay window.
Attached to the left is a single-storey, two-window range with 20th-century casements and an artificial slate roof. The rear elevation is similar, featuring a gabled stair turret at the intersection of the wings, all with ashlar gable parapets. There is a 19th-century lean-to attached to the rear.
Inside, the ground floor rooms have been altered, but there are 17th-century fireplaces with moulded stone surrounds and four-centred arch-heads. The first floor also has a similar fireplace.
