Description

The George Inn is a public house dating from the 17th century. It features a timber-framed structure that is underbuilt with painted brick and has plaster on the first floor, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high on a plinth and has a modillion eaves cornice. The roof is half-hipped to the right and includes one hipped dormer, with chimney stacks located at the rear center and projecting from both ends.

On the first floor, there are five glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor has three 6-light 20th-century mullioned and transomed windows. The central entrance consists of two half-glazed doors flanked by a three-light mullioned window and a panelled apron, all adorned with pilasters and a cornice above. It is believed that the inn predates 1679, as noted in E. Selby's "Teynham Manor and Hundred."

The George Inn sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 75% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 27 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 71% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
