Formerly known as: The Sword in Hand Public House SOUTHGATE STREET. House, formerly a public house. Mid C17 with late C18 additions; faced in brick c1910; part rebuilt or added 1935. Timber-framed; fronted in red brick, rendered on the upper storey with plain brick pilasters; tile-hanging in the apex of the south gable; plaintiled roof with a wide eaves overhang and mutules to the soffit; rear extensions partly in kidney flint and brick. One original internal chimney-stack and 2 later end stacks, all with plain red brick shafts. 2-cell lobby-entrance plan. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and cellars. 3 window range: 12-pane sashes to the upper storey and tripartite sashes to the ground storey, the central sash 16-pane, all in flush cased frames. 2 matching 6-panel entrance doors have wood surrounds with flat cornice hoods supported by shaped brackets. The ground-storey windows and the doors have segmental brick arches with keystones. INTERIOR: cellar partly brick vaulted with rendered walls over flint; the south end and the room above it reconstructed in 1935. An internal chimney-stack has 2 back-to-back hearths on each storey, those on the ground storey much altered, but on the upper storey nearer their original form. The stack was tunnelled through to give access to the rear when a parlour and parlour chamber, for which there is documentary evidence, were added in the late C18. The ground storey rooms on each side of the stack have chamfered main beams with scroll stops. Apart from the main posts, which have very marked jowls, the front framing has been removed. A rear extension contains a straight flight of early C19 stairs with stick balusters. The roof of the front range has clasped purlins.
