The Grapes Hotel

The Grapes Hotel is a 16th-century building located on Rounceval Street in Sodbury. It is constructed of rubble with a pantile roof and features two storeys and an attic, topped with three steep Cotswold gables. The building has three windows; on the first floor, there are three-light casements with ovolo moulded stone mullions and dripmoulds that have returned stops. The ground floor includes a 16-pane sash window on the right and a 19th-century square bay window on the left.

The main entrance, located centrally, is a timber arched doorway with an original plank door that has moulded muntins and iron strap hinges, set in a chamfered and stopped frame. Above the entrance, there is a rendered gabled projecting square bay supported by brackets that extend to ground level, featuring a 2-light casement window. To the left of the main entrance, there is a smaller entrance with a modern door and a 19th-century hood.

Inside, the flagged passage from the main entrance leads to a yard through a similar two-centre arch and a plain door. In the bar to the left of the main entry passage, there is a late 16th or early 17th-century moulded cross beam ceiling with moulded panelling behind the bar. The beams are adorned with small double ovolo moulding and converging stops.
