Greyhound Hotel

The Greyhound Hotel is a hotel with origins dating back to the 16th century, rebuilt in the 17th century and refronted in the late 18th century. It features a timber-frame core with brick rebuilding and refronting, a rendered parapet and gable, and a plain tile roof. The building is two stories high with six bays. The left-hand two bays and the right-hand center bay contain early 19th-century double sash windows. The other bays have half-glazed doors beneath moulded flat hoods supported by carved brackets, with the right-hand door flanked by round pilasters. On the first floor, there are five 12-pane sash windows, with no window above the left-hand door. The tall rendered parapet has moulded stone coping and a wrought iron sign bracket. There is a large ridge stack above the left-hand door, along with stacks at the right-hand end and behind the ridge near the early end. At the left-hand end, there is a single-storey 19th-century shopfront with a central door and a sash window on each side, featuring brick pilasters and a moulded cornice. The rear of the building has service wings. Inside, the hotel contains elements from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, including a 17th-century staircase with turned balusters and a moulded handrail.
