White Lion Hotel

The White Lion Hotel is a hotel that is said to have origins in the 17th century, but it is mainly from around 1830. It features whitewashed brick with a banded rusticated stucco ground floor and a string course between the first-floor sills. The roof is slate, with tiles on the lower and rear wings, and there are brick chimneys. The building has a central hall plan with a 20th-century staircase and is designed in a late Georgian style. It stands three storeys tall with four unevenly spaced windows, and there is a two-storey, two-window range on the left side. The entrance consists of a 20th-century double-leaf door set in a moulded stucco surround with pilaster strips, a round arch, and a fanlight above. The ground floor has 12-pane sash windows beneath segmental stucco arches with voussoirs, while the first floor features casements with brick segmental arches, and the second floor has 6-pane sashes. The corners of the building are curved, and there is a similar facade of windows on the right-hand return. The lower range includes large late 19th-century casements on the ground floor. At the rear, there is a low timber frame wing with some exposed framing inside, although much of it is sham timbering. The interior has been altered.
