DisgrifiadThe front wing of The Duke of Wellington is of medieval origin with later alterations. It was known as the Black Horse until about 1850, after the first Duke of Wellington is thought to have stayed here on a visit to General Picton's family in Carmarthenshire. It has a two storey wing with a stuccoed front elevation and a slate roof with a tall stone stack to the left hand and small stuccoed stack on the front pitch at the right hand end. There is a corbelled chimney breast to the rear and a side gable with a twentieth century round-arched stained glass window. The rear wings have a stone ground floor, brick upper floors, whilst the third storey gable is all in stone. There is also a three window block with hiped roof, two storeys then a three-storey gabled block, and a broad two-storey gabled block with an oriel window. Unntil the early twentieth century, it was one of a row of three similar vernacular buildings.
