The Ship Tavern is a small, brick-built public house dated to the early 19th century and known to have been a public house since that time. The building is of two storeys and three bays, L-shaped on plan, with an open-plan interior accessed from a central entrance on the front elevation with a pedimented doorcase and slender rounded pilasters. The former listing description dated the building to 1815. Much of the interior of the building is the result of late 20th century remodelling. The building stands on part of the site of the old Dominican Friary, but no building is shown in this location on John Hall’s map of 1741. The present roof line is set well below the upstanding gable brickwork, suggesting that the building has been re-roofed and its roof structure replaced or modified in recent years; it currently (2011) has a slate roof covering. For the full description of this listed building please refer to the National Heritage List for England. {3}{4}
