A building survey was conducted by Allen
Archaeology using photographs taken by York Sills as part of a structural
survey undertaken in June 2014. An 18th century building of coursed
limestone, under an oak roof structure covered by reed, lath and plaster,
with mud and stud partitions. The roof had coped gables with brick tumbling
on the gable ends. Its earliest surviving features included a back to back
fireplace of likely 18th century date. The public house was expanded in the
19th century with the addition of outbuildings, possibly a stable and coach
house. These were demolished in the late 19th/early 20th century. The main
building was also extended to the east and southeast in the 19th century.
Further additions of a kitchen extension and new toilet block were added in
the late 20th century. A fire partially destroyed the building in 2007 and
it was demolished in 2013 to make way for a supermarket, though as of 2022
the site remained empty. |
