Description
The Knight and Garter Public House is a public house built in 1904 by Stockdale Harrison. It features red brick with burnt headers used decoratively, along with stone windows and dressings. The building has a glazed brick plinth and a steeply pitched Swithland slate roof, showcasing a vernacular revival style. It stands two storeys high with an attic and basement.
The Market Place South front has five stone mullion windows with leaded lights, including a canted oriel bay on the centre left. The ground floor has similar windows with transoms and an entrance featuring a moulded round arch that leads to part-glazed doors. There is a dormer on the right and twin gables in the centre with three-light windows and an ornamental gargoyle. A prominent partly truncated stack is located on the left.
On the Hotel Street front, there is a canted oriel bay on the first floor, with a three-light window above it. The ground floor features mullion and transom windows, with a corner entrance supported by a Tuscan column and part-glazed doors. The alley front has similar windows and walling faced in white tiles. The eaves gutters are supported on wrought iron brackets, and the gables have lead coping.
Inside, the ground floor has been opened up into one large area, but it may still retain some panelling and a fireplace. The first floor has also been altered. This building is a very well detailed example of the vernacular revival style, which is unusual for a city centre.
