Description
The Barley Mow is a public house, originally likely a farmhouse, dating to the late 17th century, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of roughly-coursed limestone rubble, with a corrugated iron roof which replaced a thatch. A stone ridge stack with brick flues is also present. The building is two storeys and an attic, with a three-window front. It follows a two-unit lobby-entry plan. The main front faces the street and features a central blocked doorway with a flat-arched stone head. There are three-light casement windows to the ground and first floors on both the left and right sides, and a blocked central first-floor window, all with flat-arched stone heads. Quoins are present, and the gables are stone-coped, featuring kneelers. A central gabled stair turret is located at the rear. Modern extensions are present at the rear, along with the current entrance. A 19th-century two-storey, three-window extension is set to the right, with a slate roof. Inside, features include ogee-stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and an open fireplace with a cambered bressumer.
