Description


TL 76 NW KENTFORD BURY ROAD

3/49 The Cock P.H.
7.5.54 (Formerly listed
as Cock Inn)

II


Public House. Formerly coaching inn; late C15 or early C16 with
major alterations of early C19 and 1935. 2 storeys, 3-cell plan.
Timber-framed, encased early C19 in red brick (painted C.20).
Plaintiled roof with axial and end chimneys of red brick. Mainly
C20 small-pane sash windows; 2 C19 windows at 1st 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 2 equal bays (now the
Lounge Bar), with a central binding joist having trailing leaf
carving in 3 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 1- and 2-storey
wings to right and rear are not of special interest.
