Description

The New Inn, located at 1 New Street, dates back to the 15th or 16th century. This building has two storeys, featuring a painted brick ground floor and a first floor that overhangs on exposed beam ends. It has a timber frame structure with curved braces and plaster infilling, topped with an old tile roof. The front of the building has symmetrical windows and timber framing on the first floor, with three 2-light early 19th-century wood casements. The ground floor originally had an irregular arrangement of five doors and two windows, but two of the doors have been changed to small canted bay windows that match the original centre bay window. There is one six-panel door and a plain secondary door to the right.

Inside, the building has seen various alterations and reconstructions, but several timber frame partition walls remain. Part of the open cruck truss roof structure is still visible, and the first floor framing is exposed. The south wall features an early 18th-century Venetian window, and there are two fireplaces with chambered wood lintels. A cupboard next to the fireplace in the centre bay contains sheep, and the floor is made of knuckle bone. The ground floor also has exposed wall posts, a tie beam, and arched and inverted braces.

The New Inn is part of a group that includes Nos 21 to 49 (odd), the School of Arts and Crafts, and Nos 61, 63, and Nos 67 to 75 (odd).
