Appraisal
Though its original use is uncertain, this attractive building employs notable decorative detailing and as a result is a fine contributor to the architectural heritage of Church Street. Its well ordered façade, divided into three sections, displays attractive render decoration and elaborate Tudor arched window and door openings. Now used by the public house to the west as offices, this structure forms a curious element within its setting.
