Description
The White Hart Inn is a public house located on Market Street in Wymondham. It dates from the early 17th century, likely built shortly after the fire of 1616, and features a mid 18th-century saloon with a brick facade. The building has a pantiled roof, which is black glazed at the front. The two-storey facade consists of seven bays, with an additional bay above a segmental carriage entrance on the left. The doorway, located in the third bay from the left, is accessed through double-leaf, three-panel doors framed by an eared surround and an open pediment. The ground floor has sash windows under segmental gauged skewback arches with painted keystones, while the first floor features sash windows with square heads. All sash windows have mid 18th-century glazing bars and flush frames. The roof is gabled with internal gable-end stacks and a ridge stack positioned left of centre.
At the rear, there is a mid 18th-century rendered two-storey gabled cross wing to the east, which houses the saloon and is lit by three late 20th-century windows on the first floor. The ground floor has various 20th-century additions.
Inside, the original timber structure was one room deep, with the upper rear wall still visible, featuring a two-light ovolo-moulded casement and a renewed open three-light window. The ground floor includes a sunk-quadrant bridging beam to the west with jewelled tongue stops, and another beam to the east with polygonal tongue stops designed in the Market Cross style. The first floor showcases jowled principal studs, tension braces in the corners, and sunk-quadrant bridging beams. The outshut at the east end was replaced in the mid 18th century with the saloon. The two-storey interior contains wall niches on the north, south, and east walls, with the east wall featuring a round-headed niche and the others having arched niches with open pediments, all adorned with fluted pilasters.
