Description
The Lord Nelson Inn is an inn dating from the 17th to 18th century, constructed from coursed rubble of Ham stone with ashlar dressings. It features a clay pantiled roof with high stepped coped gables, which has replaced the original thatch, and includes brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The upper level showcases three-light horizontal bar casement windows, while the lower level has three-light hollow-chamfered mullioned windows set in chamfered recesses with hoodmoulds at the outer bays. In the second bay from the left, there is a two-light plain beaded mullioned window within an architrave. To the right of this bay, a doorway with a beaded surround and a moulded flat hood on console brackets leads to a part-glazed door from the 20th century. There is also a single-storey hipped roof extension that matches the main building against the north gable, along with a late 19th-century wing at the rear. The inn is situated on a prominent corner site. The interior has not been seen.
