Building record 1934/0/16 - Samuel Pepys Public House

A probable 17th century house with 18th, 19th and 20th century additions. It was known as the Red Cow Public House in the late 19th century. By 1976 it was known as The Samuel Pepys.

{1} A level II building recording survey was undertaken prior to the conversion of the former public house into residential use. The earliest phase was indicated by timber joisting on the ground floor, a large stone stack to the first floor and roof construction all indicative of a 17th-century date. Later ranges were likely to be of 18th or 19th century date, with further additions in the 20th century when dining facilities were added. The use of the building as an inn/public house since at least the late 19th century had stripped much historic detail.
