The George Public House

The George Public House is a late medieval house that has been altered in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries and is now functioning as a public house. It features a timber frame that is plastered and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles and slates. The building has a half-H plan facing southeast, with wings that extend forward and an axial stack located at the junction of the hall range and the left wing. There is a 17th-century stair tower at the rear of the right bay of the hall, along with a 20th-century single-storey flat-roofed extension beyond it. A long single-storey extension from the 18th or 19th century is attached to the rear of the left wing, and there is also a single-storey extension with a slated lean-to roof situated between the two front wings, dating from the 18th century.

The building stands at two storeys. On the ground floor, there is one 18th-century splayed bay featuring an original two-light window with one wrought iron casement and rectangular leaded glazing, as well as two 20th-century casements. The first floor has three 19th-century casements. There are two boarded doors, one of which includes a small pane. The right wing jetties out at the front, and some original sprockets are visible. In the rear wall at first-floor level, there is an 18th-century two-light window with one wrought iron casement, rectangular leading, and early glass.

Inside, the public house has a large wood-burning hearth with a mantel beam that is chamfered with jewel stops, jowled posts, chamfered beards, and clasped purlin roofs. The walls of the hall have been raised approximately 1.30 metres in the 17th century, and the roof has been rebuilt using soot-blackened medieval rafters. The stair tower features some exposed studding with straight bracing that is trenched to the inside, along with a blocked rear window. There are also some early ledged doors from the 17th and 18th centuries.
