KENTFORD BURY ROAD The Kentford and Cock Inn Cottage (Formerly listed as The Cock P.H., previously listed as Cock Inn)

7.5.54 II Public House. Formerly coaching inn; late C15 or early C16 with major alterations of early C19 and 1935. Two storeys, three-cell plan. Timber-framed, encased early C19 in red brick (painted C20). Plaintiled roof with axial and end chimneys of red brick. Mainly C20 small-pane sash windows; two C19 windows at first floor have horizontal sliding casements. Recessed C20 glazed panelled entrance door. The upper floor was originally jettied along the front wall. The right-hand cell (now the Public Bar) was occupied by twin service rooms. The hall is of two equal bays (now the Lounge Bar), with a central binding joist having trailing leaf carving in three bands, separated by a roll. At the rear wall, the joist sits on a post with a carved male figure about 50cm high. This has a long robe and appears to support the joist with its upstretched arms. It stands on a carved pilaster. A second figure stood facing it at the front wall until 1935. The bridging and common-joists are moulded with roll, ogee, and hollow-chamfers. The open fireplace, probably later, has a plain cambered lintel. A small wing to rear left, C18 or earlier, with gable chimney; possibly a kitchen wing. The C20 one and two storey wings to right and rear are not of special interest.
