Description
This building, part of the White Hart Hotel, dates back to the 15th century and has undergone extensions in the 16th and 19th centuries, with alterations made in the 20th century. It features a timber-framed structure that is plastered, with some exposed framing, and is roofed with handmade red plain tiles. The building has a four-bay range that runs at right angles to the street, which is reduced to three bays at the rear. There is a two-bay wing from the 16th century at the back, along with a 19th-century extension that has a slate roof. Additionally, there is a late 19th-century open shed beyond, roofed with slate and corrugated iron.
The building is two storeys tall, except for the shed. On the ground floor, there is a 19th-century fixed light window with 15 panes, likely a former shop window, accompanied by a moulded fascia. The first floor features an early 19th-century sash window with 16 lights. A late 16th-century gable, which used to project, is now set back almost flush with the wall below. The front elevation has much replacement timber, with 20th-century pegs projecting. A bracketed lamp, similar to one found on another building nearby, has been added.
The building has an underbuilt jetty, although the jetty plate is missing. Inside, there are three chamfered binding beams that are unstopped and lack mortices for former partitions below, along with plain joists of horizontal section. Four grown knees were introduced in the 20th century. The rear wing features plain joists of horizontal section arranged laterally, two additional grown knees, and an axial beam added in the 20th century. The first floor of both sections is fully plastered, and the roofs were inaccessible during the survey. Historically, the building was known as The True Blue Inn in 1758.
