Scope and Content Two-storey inn rebuilt in 1808. Decorative, sculpted scobed ridge with hazel spars and horizontal metal wires/rods held in place by metal pegs. Listed as having a ‘reed roof’ and ‘turf ridge’, however, both the roof and ridge are now thatched in reed. Only the ridge is netted, the rest of the thatch is uncovered. There is a fair amount of mossy vegetation growth throughout the thatch and some compaction/decay in places, most evident at the abutment to the later adjacent buildings.
