George Inn

The George Inn, originally three houses, dates to 1765, with later 19th-century alterations. It is said to have been built for William Butts, the parish clerk. The building is constructed of large squared stone or rubble, with slate roofs. The inn is composed of a series of linked units. To the left is a single-storey store with a corrugated asbestos roof and plank garage doors. Adjacent, a further store has a slate roof with a single course of stone slate at the eaves, and a coped verge to the left. A plank door and a two-light casement window are present. A two-storey section follows, containing what was formerly a Court Leet meeting room, built of coursed rubble with flush quoins and lintols. It features two large 12-pane sashes above a single 12-pane window, and a pair of 20th-century glazed doors under a rectilinear transom light. The rear of this section has a small and a larger 12-pane sash above a four-panel door. A brick stack stands at the left gable. The main building is of large dressed squared stone block with a slate roof, low two storeys with an attic, projecting porch, and a deep back wing. It has three window bays, with a small two-light casement to the left, two large 12-pane sashes of the mid-19th century above a small two-light casement, a three-light chamfered stone-mullioned small-pane casement, and a 20-pane wide sash in a flush plat band. A plank door is located to the left, and a gabled stone porch with side lights covers a 18th-century ledged and framed door with early strap hinges. Above the door is a cambered lintel and a stone inscription reading "B W*G" over "1765" in a patterned border. A stone ridge stack with a blocking course above capping is located to the left of centre, and a late 19th-century brick stack to the right. The rear features a deep gabled wing with a small stair light and a brick stack. The presence of the mullioned window led the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments to suggest possible 17th-century origins.
