Description
The Royal George Public House is a public house with a core dating back to the 15th century, featuring early 17th-century alterations and additions. It has an L-shaped form and is one-and-a-half storeys tall. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof that is half-hipped at the south end and has a lower section on the north. An internal chimney-stack with a rendered shaft is located near the south end of the front range. The windows are randomly placed, including 3-light and 2-light casement windows, along with one eyebrow dormer. There are two plain doors, one of which is half-glazed.
Inside, the ground storey to the north of the chimney-stack has been converted into one large L-shaped room. The two bays next to the stack feature a ceiling with a chamfered and stopped main beam, and joists that were inserted into the open hall in the early 17th century. The northern end, which has a lower roofline, is an extension from around 1700, with a ceiling at a different level and joists set on edge. The chimney-stack seems to have been added to the original cross-entry.
