Description
The George Inn is a public house that dates from the 17th century and was altered in the late 19th century. It features a timber frame and pebble-dashed exterior with a plain tiled roof. The building consists of two parallel ranges and has two storeys topped with a hipped roof, which has stacks on both the left and right sides. Each floor has three wooden casement windows, and there are half-glazed doors located to the centre left, which has a flat hood, and to the centre right. The inn was mentioned in the will of John Hulse, who died in 1714, and prior to his ownership, it served as the brewhouse for church ales. The property underwent significant alterations in 1884 by Shepherd Neame Brewery.
