Early/mid C19 frontage with a small amount of C20 alteration. The building of the curved frontage may coincide with the laying-out of Priory Street in 1837. The balcony, looking onto the main square of the town, is likely to have been used for electioneering in the C19. The public house was closed for several years prior to conversion as a shop and office in 2004.

Six over 6 pane sashes to the left with 3 over 6 on the second floor. Recessed doorway with two plain columns, six panel door up four steps.
