Description

The White Horse Inn is an 18th-century inn located on the south side of The Green in Biddestone. It is constructed of whitewashed rubble stone with black painted dressings and features stone tiled roofs, including a coped west gable and a lower attached range. The main front of the inn is gabled and rises to two-and-a-half storeys, showcasing 19th-century bargeboards and a projecting Tudor-style porch that includes a datestone with the initials T.H.A.P. and the year 1872, referring to T.H.A. Poynder of Hartham Park.

The inn has ovolo-moulded three-light mullion windows with hoodmoulds, positioned one on each side of the porch, one centrally on the first floor, and a bead-moulded attic window. The west end gable is made of ashlar stone and may have been rebuilt in the 19th century. The lower west range features a three-light ovolo-mullion window with a hood at the front, a door in a 19th-century gabled surround on the west end, and a two-light attic window that is also ovolo-moulded with a hood above. Additionally, there is an early 19th-century iron small paned casement window.
