The Snooty Fox Hotel

The Snooty Fox Hotel is a hotel located on a corner site in Tetbury Market Place. It has a late 16th century core and was rebuilt between 1851 and 1852 by R.S. Holford, following designs by Lewis Vulliamy. The building features coursed and dressed stone with a very steeply pitched Cotswold stone slate roof and a tall triple ashlar end stack on the right.

The front range faces the Market Place and is accompanied by two long parallel rear ranges at right angles. The hotel is two storeys high and has three windows on the upper floor, which are three-light stone mullion and transom windows with six equal-size lights. The central window has a square hoodmould, and there is a continuous dripmould above all three windows.

On the ground floor, there are two four-light mullion and transom windows, each divided into eight equal-size lights. This section is recessed in two stages, under a jettied first floor supported by six columns arranged in a pattern of 1/2/2/1. The right side is further recessed and features a 20th-century glazed door in the angle.

The roofline is adorned with two Dutch gables that have moulded verges and finials. The end gables are coped with kneelers and one step. The right-hand gable has two open quatrefoils, while the left-hand gable features a finial, an open traceried circle with two elongated quatrefoils within, and on the first floor, a four-light mullion and transom window with a square hoodmould divided into twelve equal-size lights.
