Description
The George Inn is an inn that was refronted in the mid to later 19th century, although it is based on an 18th-century building. It is constructed of squared rubble stone with ashlar dressings and features a hipped stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and is designed in an L-shape. At the rear, there are ashlar stacks.
The south front is symmetrical, featuring flush quoins, an ashlar plinth, a moulded cornice, and a parapet. It has stone mullion windows with hoodmoulds arranged in a five-window range. The centre projects slightly and includes a door in a shouldered surround, with a jettied upper floor that has a 2-light window. Each wing has two upper 2-light windows and a ground floor five-light window.
The northwest rear wing has a hipped north end and a two-window range of similar 2-light windows flanking a fine early 18th-century stone doorcase. This doorcase features bolection moulding with a carved keystone and frieze, supported by ornate acanthus brackets that hold a scrolled pediment above. There are no notable interior features. The inn is marked on J. Powell's map from 1763.
