Description
The Rattlebone Inn is a 17th-century inn with a later addition to the west and 19th-century alterations. It is constructed from squared and coursed rubble, featuring flush rusticated dressed stone quoins, wooden lintels, and a gabled stone slate roof with a brick stack at the east end and a central ridge stone stack. The inn has a two-storey, four-window north front, with all windows being 19th-century casements in two and three lights. There is a cambered-headed relieving arch over the ground floor window to the left. The doorway is off-set to the left and has a 20th-century plank door. To the left, there are corner additions with 19th-century fenestration. The inn is named after the local Saxon hero Rattlebone, who fought for King Edmund Ironside against Canute at Sherston in 1016. It occupies a significant location at the entrance to the market place.
