Public house. C15, C16, and later. Timber-framed with painted
brick front and plain tile roof, gabled to west and
half-hipped to Butt Lane corner; small stack base, off-centre
on ridgeline.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 6-window range; with single storey
extensions at rear. 1st floor has 3/6 sash windows, one
tripartite small-paned sash and one blind rendered recess, all
with segmental heads. Ground floor has two C20 windows with
segmental heads and 3 tripartite windows with side pilasters,
flat hood and frieze and plaster aprons under. Windows have
plain sashes with etched glass in lower part. C20 entrance
door with segmental head and small panes.
Butt Lane elevation is part ashlared render and part painted
brick and has return frontage with lower eaves line, plain
tiles and hip to north end. The 1st floor has two 2-light
casements with single horizontal glazing bars. Ground floor
has 2 entrance doors, a small sash with central vertical
glazing bar and a 6-pane under a segmental head.
The rear elevation to the yard is of some complexity, with a
2-storey rendered block with plain tile roof, parallel to the
front range, at the eastern end. This has a tall stack with
former oven in its flank with lean-to roof. The 1st floor has
a wide C20 three-light metal casement, a 2-light casement with
central horizontal glazing bar and small window with fixed
cross-pattern glazing. The ground floor has C20 gabled
single-storey extension and entrance door. To the west of this
is a Welsh-slate lean-to extension, abutting the rear part of
a 2-storey cross-wing with hipped and gableted plain tile
roof. This has a 6-pane casement in its flank and a lean-to
extension in black weatherboarding with slate roof and further
C20 extension with asbestos roof. Stump of stack against east
flank of cross-wing and larger stack in valley between
parallel ranges. Timber-framing of at least 4 builds, probably
representing 2 former houses.
INTERIOR: to the west are the remains of a C15 parlour
cross-wing of 3 bays with widely spaced studs, jowled posts
and thick bracing to hollow-chamfered tie beams. Adjoining
this is a floor of moulded spine beams and bridging joists,
probably representing a late C16 insertion into an open hall.

This is framed to accommodate a chimney stack and appears to
have been altered to 2 storeys in C17. Adjoining to the west
is a bay of framing with jowled posts, on the rear wall and
with lambs-tongue-stopped spine beam. Its western partition,
on 1st floor, has both straight bracing, from posts to tie
beam and contemporary small studs. To the east is a 2-bay
cross wing probably of the C16 with its bridging joists
exposed on ground floor. One 1st-floor room has early C19
fireplace with reeded pilasters and roundels.
HISTORY: in 1575 part of this property was called 'Cobbes at
the corner'.
