Scope and Content Formerly known as ‘Peggy’s Tearoom’, the building, which is in the same ownership as Souter’s Inn (see survey entry 201), is now a garden centre and retail space. According to the owner, the building was last thatched around four years ago (circa 2010). The ridge, and around a foot below the ridge, is netted whilst the rest of the thatch is left uncovered. The ridge is scobed with hazel spars, and is sculpted decoratively along the bottom. Along the north (principal) elevation of the building, the ridge has deteriorated significantly more than anywhere else on the building. The main public entrance is located on the west elevation and has a small thatched canopy above the door opening.
