Description
The Queens Head Public House is a public house located on Bulwick Main Street, with datestones indicating its construction in 1675 and 1683 for Rail Exton, and it was extended in the 19th century. The building is made of squared coursed limestone and features a Collyweston slate roof. Originally designed with a three-unit plan, it stands two storeys high.
The front facade has a four-window range of three-light ovolo-moulded stone mullion windows on the first floor and a three-window range of similar windows on the ground floor. A continuous hood mould connects the center ground floor window with the left-hand window. There is a blocked door to the left of center, which has a squared head and a moulded stone surround. The far left and right of center have 20th-century plank doors set under wood lintels.
The building has a brick and stone stack at the ridge and an ashlar end stack with a moulded cornice. The datestone from 1675 is located to the right of center, while the datestone from 1683 is to the left of center. At the rear, there are two 19th-century wings and two stair turrets with lean-to roofs positioned between the main range and the rear wings. The interior has been modified in the 20th century.
