Description
The Old Wellington Inn is a house that has been converted into a public house. It likely dates from the mid-16th century and has undergone alterations and restoration, including being raised by about 30 feet to match the new street level due to 20th-century redevelopment. The building features a timber frame with a stone slate roof and has a three-bay linear plan, standing three storeys high with three structural bays, two of which are gabled.
The ground floor has been modified, featuring paired 20th-century doorways at the center, flanked by 20th-century mullion-and-transom windows, a splayed doorway at the left corner, and a similar 20th-century window on the left return wall. The first floor showcases close-studded framing with angle braces in the first bay, a small restored four-light slightly bowed wooden mullioned window in this bay, and a continuous 17-light mullioned window that spans almost the entire second and third bays, arranged in slightly bowed sections of six, three, two, two, and four lights. The first floor also has square small-panelled framing, with one four-light window just below the wallplate in each bay, all slightly bowed. The gables are jettied and filled with decorative lattice framing. The left return wall mirrors the front's framing on each floor, featuring a restored seven-light window on each level and a jettied gable similar to those at the front.
Inside, the building retains exposed beams and other features. The Old Wellington Inn is the only remaining example of timber framing typical of the town from the 16th and 17th centuries. It forms a group with Sinclairs Oyster Bar to the right and was previously designated as a scheduled ancient monument.
