Description
The Castle Hotel Public House, formerly known as Castle Inn, is a former Duchy of Lancaster Court House built in 1737, with later alterations by Henry Sephton, Undertaker. The building is constructed of red sandstone and features a slate roof. It is two storeys tall and has seven bays, with two bay projections on each side. The entrance to the Court Room on the first floor is accessed via a stone staircase and consists of double doors with six raised panels set in a stone doorcase, which is topped by the Royal Arms. The outer bays have a projecting weathered plinth located midway up the ground floor windows. The upper windows are adorned with moulded stone bracketed sills, architraves, and heads that feature triple keystones. The building has a moulded eaves cornice and a hipped roof with sandstone hip and ridge tiles. Inside, the Courtroom has been adapted for catering but still retains a tablet with an inscription and date.
