Full Description

Former public house, now house, dating from 1789 and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. Built of squared limestone rubble with ashlar dressings, and features a concrete tiled roof with a red brick gable stack. It is of three storeys, and has a three-bay front with central 20th century door and overlight having inset boot scrapers to each side, flanked by single margin lights. To the first floor are three similar windows. The ground and first floor openings have segmental stone heads with raised keystones. To the second floor is a central datestone with '1789' in raised numbers, flanked by single two-light sliding glazing bar sashes with flat splayed arches. Over the door is a faded sign painted onto the stonework 'Thirtle' with end scrolls. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate entry in the National Heritage List for England. {1}{2} Thirtle is not labelled as a public house on the 1st edition 25" Ordnance Survey County Series map, unlike other establishments in the village at that time. This would suggest the building had been converted into a private residence at some point prior to this survey in the late 19th century. {3}
