Description
The Colin Grazier Hotel, located at 21 Church Street in Tamworth, is a building that dates back to the early 18th century and has undergone later additions. Originally a police station, it is now used as a hotel. The structure is built of brick with stone dressings and features a tiled roof with brick stacks, showcasing an early Georgian architectural style.
The hotel stands two storeys high and has a seven-window range. Notable exterior features include a cornice at the ground floor, a wooden modillioned cornice at the top, and a coped gable. There are two entrances, each adorned with architraves, friezes, and cornices, leading to six-panel doors. The ground floor windows have sills and are topped with rubbed brick flat arches featuring keystones, with 20-pane horned sashes. The window situated between the entrances has a twelve-pane sash. On the first floor, there are round-headed windows with keystones and small-paned horned sashes. The building has end stacks and cross-axial stacks.
At the rear, there is a gabled wing that has similar windows, and the attic features two small-paned horizontally sliding sashes. There is a single-storey extension that leads to a late 19th-century cell block, which includes ashlar sills and lintels for the barred windows. The return of this extension incorporates an 18th-century garden wall, and there is an early 20th-century wing to the right.
The interior of the building has not been inspected.
