Description
The White Horse Public House is a late 17th century building, with possible alterations from the 18th century and a mid-19th century front. It features a timber-framed structure with a colour-washed brick front and a hipped slate roof. The building has two storeys and a parapet, with three ranges of sash windows with glazing bars on the west side and two ranges of sash windows without glazing bars on the north side. There is a two-storey extension on the south side, which includes one range of sash windows with glazing bars.
Originally known as the New Inn, this establishment was first mentioned in a court document from 1672 and is noted in a rental from 1755 that refers to New Inn Lane, now South Street. The White Horse is part of a group of buildings that developed around the point where the track to the first wells diverged from the Dorking Road.
The White Horse Public House is part of a group with Nos 67, 69, The Hylands, including forecourt walls, piers, clairvoyee, and gates, as well as No 71, Hylands House, which includes forecourt railings, and No 75, a building of local interest.
