Appraisal
Prominently sited on a corner at the main crossroads, this building forms a key part of the villagescape. The building displays fine workmanship in its limestone construction. The village has many buildings of similar scale and construction, including the former Market House and former Parson's House, this careful detailing serves to visually unify the built fabric of the village.
