Architecture
The inn is reputed to have been rebuilt in 1636 and altered in the early 20th century. It has a timber frame and slate roof. The building, occupied by a public house and shop, has a four-window range and each end is gabled. The two-storey public house occupies the central range and the right-hand gable which has canted bay windows on each floor. There is a round-arched doorway into the public house and a three-light window to its left. On the first floor are two casement windows. The ground floor window frames and leaded windows date from the early 20th century, the doorway is older. The entry to the yard separates the pub and shop. The shop front in the left-hand gable has a doorway next to a canted oriel window and a two-light mullioned and transomed window above it. The shop front appears to date from the early 19th century.
