The Sherwood House Inn
The Sherwood House Inn, or " The Thack" has been situated in Chapel Street for over 100 years. It's current tenant is Carol (Caz) Kemp and her family.
7 Chapel Street is the Sherwood House Inn public house. This detached, threestoried property has a grey slate roof and is constructed from brick. The form of the building is loosely based on a rectangular form with gable-ends looking to the north and the west, with the frontage of the building looking out into Chapel Street. okk
On the first floor to the left of the front door is a single casement
window with a
segmental arch; whilst to the right of the door are two top-hung timber
casement
windows, also with segmental arches. At the first-floor level looking
from east to west, is
a single casement window with segmental arch. To the east is a painted
white datestone
that reads ‘1898’. Further to the east are two top-hung timber casement
windows, both
with segmental arches. The second floor of the building can be divided
into two
sections. One section of the building’s frontage is incorporated into
its gable-end with
two timber sash windows, whilst the other component of the second floor
is
incorporated into the roof with two dormer windows. Each of the above
buildings is of a
slightly differing design, but are mostly in keeping with their
immediate neighbours.
Numbers 3 and 5 as well as the Public House are all three-storied, and
this starkly
contrasts in scale with Number 1, which is single storey, small and
isolated in nature.
When viewed alongside Orchard School, this group of buildings form a
group of late
Victorian buildings which are worthy of note.
