(SP 78983084) Shoulder of Mutton (PH) [NAT] (B2).
The Shoulder of Mutton Inn, W. of the church. The plan is L-shaped, with the wings extending towards the S.and E.; the S. wing was built probably late in the 16th century or early in the 17th century, and both wings have been much restored with modern brick. On the W. front the original timber framing with braces remains in both storeys at the N. end and in the upper storey at the S. end. The S. wing has, at the N. end, a half-hipped gable, and on the E. side part of the upper storey projects: the S. wall of the E. wing is partly covered with roughcast; at the E. end are stables and other outhouses. The S. wing has a tiled roof and an original chimney stack, with two square shafts connected by a modern arch at the top; the stack in the E. wing is modern above the roof (B3).
