North Part Of Tudor House Hotel

The north part of the Tudor House Hotel is a 16th-century building that was significantly altered in the 18th century. It stands three storeys high, with a basement, and has four window bays. The roof is slate and gabled. The building has a plastered stone front and retains a timber-framed structure, with long and short quoins. A moulded eaves cornice, featuring dentils and flutes, runs along the top of the building, and there is a stringcourse above the ground floor. Originally, sash windows were present on all floors; these have now been replaced by modern, two-light wood casements on the second floor. The ground floor openings have dripmoulds. The ground floor features a modern transomed and mullioned window, a modern French casement, a further transomed and mullioned window, and a doorway with a ledged door and visible hinges. A plinth is also present.

Inside, rooms on the ground floor retain moulded beams dating from the late 16th century, and a staircase from the late 17th to early 18th century. A good plaster ceiling from 1601 was originally in a first-floor room, but this has now been removed, leaving only the frieze. In the attic, there is possibly a plaster frieze depicting cherub-heads.

The building forms a group with No. 1 Tudor House Hotel and numbers 6 to 12 Church Street. The north front of the Guildhall provides a visual break at the southern end of this group.
