The New Inn

The New Inn is an inn located on the south side of Amesbury High Street. It dates from the early 19th century but incorporates earlier work from the mid-17th century. The building is roughcast with a tiled roof and has two storeys with six bays. The main entrance features a six-panelled door in the second bay, which is covered by a canopy supported by iron brackets. There are subsidiary doors in the fourth and sixth bays. The windows include a sixteen-paned sash window and a twenty-four-paned sash window to the right of the main door, both with a moulded architrave. A 20th-century bow window has replaced a canted bay in the sixth bay. The right end bay returns by two bays, forming a wing at the rear. Inside, the left bay has deeply chamfered cross ceiling beams with scoop stops, while the remainder of the interior has been much altered. The roof is a single tier clasped purlin design.
