The White Hart Hotel

The White Hart Hotel is a large public house dating from the 18th century, which incorporates a mid-12th century doorway that is reputedly from the Priory of Saint Thomas, though it is more likely from Launceston Castle. The building features a painted brick front, likely built on rubble, with a mid-floor band above the ground floor and shallow segmental arches. It has a dry Delabole hipped roof with a modillion cornice and brick end stacks, along with a small central roof-light. The hotel has a double-depth plan with wings arranged around a courtyard that was infilled in the 20th century.

It stands three storeys high with a symmetrical five-window front on the second floor. The windows are late 19th century paired horned two-pane sashes, except for a single sash in the centre of the second floor. The central doorway features a moulded hood over a Norman doorway made of volcanic stone, which has two orders of nook shafts and a round-arched frieze of lozenges on the outer order, along with an 18th century studded door.

Inside, notable features include an 18th century moulded ceiling cornice in the front right-hand room and entrance hall, as well as a c1800 open-well staircase with an open string, stick balusters, and a ramped mahogany handrail that is wreathed over the newel, topped with a 20th century cap.
