George And Dragon Public House

The George and Dragon Public House is an inn that dates back to medieval times and later served as a coaching house. The rear of the building retains parts of a timber-framed structure from the 16th or 17th century, while the main part of the building is from the late 18th century, with some early 19th-century details. The walls are a mix of painted brick and render, with a tile roof.

The front of the building is symmetrical, with wings extending to the rear, and the north wing adjoins Church Street. It stands two storeys high and features two windows in the centre and one on each side, with the wings having three windows each. The hipped roof has brick dentil eaves and a gabled centerpiece. The plain walls sit on a plinth and are flanked by pilasters made of painted brickwork. There are decorative bands at the eaves and at the top of the walls, which continue as coping on the gable that has a flat top, although a feature that once adorned it is now missing.

The windows are sashes, with the outer upper lights being triple. There is one early 19th-century splayed bay and a wide late 19th-century rectangular bay in the centerpiece. Above the main entrance, which was originally a carriage entrance, there is a blind arch above a wide triple sash window on the first floor. The doors on either side include one that is half-glazed and another that has six panels, both set within an architrave topped by a canopy on carved brackets. The north wing has former openings, including two Venetian windows on the ground floor, which are now filled in. Beyond this wing is a single-storey unit with an entrance to the rear yard, connected to a two-storey cottage that has two windows, walls of painted flint and brick, sash windows, and a central entrance that is now filled.
