Description
Latimer's is a large house that was once a coaching inn, originally built in the 16th century and enlarged in the early 17th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and has a stone slate roof. The 17th-century wing was added across the end of the 16th-century house, creating a T-plan, with a second 17th-century wing beyond. The building is two stories high with an attic.
The earlier part of the house features a parapet with two blocked ovolo moulded three-light parapet windows and dormer windows behind. There is a four-centred arched doorway, and alterations have been made at the north end, including a doorway with a moulded flat stone hood supported by stone brackets on the west side. The cross wing has a gable chimney at the east end with paired diagonal shafts and two small round-headed windows to the left. At the west gable end, there are two twelve-light mullioned and transomed windows with cavetto moulding and hoods. The end wing has two and three-light ovolo moulded mullioned windows and a lateral chimney, also with paired diagonal shafts, featuring finely carved coronet finials topped by fleur-de-lys decoration.
To the west, there is a service wing with timber casement windows on the north side and cross-roll saddles to the gables. The chimneys have moulded caps. An attached screen wall features a round arched opening with imposts and a keystone, above which is a date shield reading 1617 EB. There is a 19th-century coach house beyond.
Inside, the 16th-century wing has been much altered, but some timber framing is still visible, along with a small raised upper floor stone fireplace. The 17th-century wing contains a late Jacobean stone fireplace and door screen, as well as another carved stone fireplace with foliage decoration in an adjacent room. The building is said to have once been the home of Bishop Latimer of Worcester.
