Description
NRHE data transfer:
Bull Hotel. Mid 15th century two storey timber-framed and plastered, with 19th century alterations. RCHM 44. Grade II. <1>
The Bull Hotel, 1/4 mile WSW of the church was built late in the 16th century, but the original plan cannot be distinguished; the present plan is L-shaped with the wings extending towards the north-west and south-west. The south-west wing is probably a late 17th century addition. Inside the building, in the north-west wing, are original moulded ceiling-beams and joists, and one room contains some original panelling. In the south-west wing is a 16th century battened door. <2>
