The Black Boy Inn, W of the church, is of two storeys, built probably early in the 17th century, on an L-shaped plan, the longer wing extending towards the W and the shorter wing towards the N. The walls are almost all timber-framed with brick filling, but the S front and the E side of the N wing have been much restored with modern brick: at the E end of the W wing the lower storey is of stone; the upper storey projects and is timber-framed, with modern brick filling. The roofs are tiled. One large rectangular chimney stack is of the 17th century, restored at the top. Interior:- On the ground floor, two chamfered ceiling-beams have moulded stops. On the first floor, one room has a door of early 17th-century date, with eight panels, each having a carved lozenge pattern in the middle. Condition-Good (B3).
