Description
The George is a 16th and 17th century inn, constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with plain tile roofs. The oldest part of the building is a two-storey hall with a jettied crosswing featuring a half-hipped roof. In the early 17th century, the inn was extended to the west with an additional room and a gabled crosswing that also has two storeys and attics. A covered way at first floor level connects the crosswing to a late timber-framed barn to the west.
The building features a central ridge stack on the crosswing, an end stack to the east, and a notable 17th-century ridge stack on the main range, which has two shafts bridged by a round-headed arch. On the first floor, there are four windows, three of which are horizontal sliding sash windows with glazing bars. The ground floor has four three-light horizontal sliding sash windows with glazing bars, along with one small bay window. The main entrance consists of a half-glazed door and a panelled door to the right.
Inside, the inn boasts large inglenook hearths and ceiling beams that are moulded and stop-chamfered. There are wall paintings in a first-floor room, possibly from the early 17th century, depicting four large figures dressed for hunting.
