Royal Oak Public House

The Royal Oak Public House is an inn, now functioning as a public house, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with a Ham Hill stone plinth and features a plain tile roof, with the lower course made of stone tiles. The building has stepped stone coping and moulded kneelers at the gable ends, along with brick stacks on the left gable and left-of-centre.

The structure has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys tall with a five-window range. The left side is nearly symmetrical with a two-window range, featuring timber lintels above a central 20th-century door and three-light casements. An external stone staircase with iron railings leads from the right of the left section to a first-floor door at the service end, with another door located below the landing. To the right of the staircase is a carriage entrance with doors, set under an elliptical arch with stone voussoirs. Further to the right are double garage doors, and between these is a plain door with a leaded overlight.

Inside, the room on the far right, now a garage, has several layers of floorboards above the joists of the upper room, with the visible boards being wide and possibly made of beechwood. The stable on the inside right features a roughly cobbled floor and planked divisions for three stalls, supported by half-round tree supports, with a manger at the rear made from two rough planks. In the bars on the left side of the building, there are two fireplaces; the far left one is a small open fireplace with a stone lintel and jambs, while the right one has a shallow-arched oak beam. The facade of the Royal Oak Public House is a well-preserved example of an 18th-century inn.
