Carved below the label are three crests: a reindeer, a sheldrake and a mailed fist. Above is a carved coat of arms of Sheldon crossed with Rudding. The archway is now blocked and contains a smaller doorway, with leaded glazing within a grid of timber mullions and transoms above. Gables coped. Chimney to right has paired shafts.
