The Sun Hotel

The Sun Hotel, located at No. 4 Sun Street, is a building dating from around 1700. It is three storeys tall and constructed of blue brick with red dressing. The building features moulded wooden eaves that are recessed above each window head, and it is topped with a steep hipped tile roof. There are string courses between the floors and nine windows in broad flush frames, with the lower two storeys slightly curved. The ground floor windows are protected by outside shutters made of fielded panelling.

There is a broad central carriageway leading to a yard at the back of the inn. A wrought iron braced strut, which once held the inn sign, ended with a painted bunch of grapes in wrought iron, though this has now been removed. At the rear of the inn, there are substantial buildings that display facades of half-timbering or later Georgian construction. Notably, one large block contains an assembly room on the first floor, which is beneath a hipped tile roof and features three large 18th-century sash windows that open onto the courtyard. A single coved plaster cornice runs around the outer faces of this block.

The Sun Hotel is part of a group with Nos 4 to 11 Sun Street.
