Description
The George Public House, dating from around the 16th century, is a notable public house constructed from stone rubble, which is partly whitewashed. It features a thatched roof with gabled and half-hipped ends, as well as eyebrow eaves. The building stands two storeys high and has a long range of four to five windows. On the ground floor, there are two stone mullion windows with four four-centred arch lights, and to the right, a three-light stone window with a hood mould. The first floor has two wooden casement windows, which are three and four lights wide. A modern plank door is located to the left of the centre.
On the right side, there is an external stone chimney stack that projects from the front in three diminishing stages, with the top section rebuilt in brick. The stonework is visible at the ridge and ends of the roof. At the northeast end, there is a former byre with a buttressed front that continues the thatched roof. A modern weather-boarded extension is present at the rear.
Adjoining the northeast is an outbuilding that was formerly stables, which has its back to the road. This structure is built from stone rubble and has a pantile roof with gabled ends. Inside the public house, there may be an inserted timber ceiling featuring hollow chamfered beams. One wall of the ground floor room is adorned with linenfold panelling, and there is a plank and muntin screen along with a large open fireplace that has a chamfered bressumer at the eastern end. The building is said to contain jointed cruck trusses that show signs of smoke-blackening.
