Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
The Woolpack (Inn) (NAT). <1>
The Woolpack Inn, Grade II*. Late 15th century hall house with 16th century additions, considerably restored. <2> <3>
No 91 Church Street (The Woolpack Inn) (formerly listed as Woolpack Inn). House, now public house and restaurant. 15th century, altered in the 16th and 20th century. RCHM 5. Grade II*. <4>
The east wing of the Woolpack has been identified as a possible Priest's House. It was erected in the early 14th century as a separate dwelling and was not incorporated into the Woolpack until the 16th century. The quality of the carpentry, size of the building and its position immediately adjacent to the church all suggest as a role as a Priests House. <5>
