Description
NRHE data transfer:
No 4 New Street (formerly listed as Old George Inn). A 17th century timber-framed and plastered house. RCHM 53. Grade II. <1>
Workmen's Home Inn, formerly George Inn, is of three storeys, the uppermost modern. It was built on an L-shaped plan with the wings extending towards the north and west, but modern additions make the present plan rectangular. On the east front the upper storey probably projected but has been under-built. The sign-board is swung from ornamental ironwork probably of late 17th century date. Inside the building is an original fireplace with a four-centred arch. <2>
