Speech House Hotel

The Speech House Hotel, originally the Forest of Dean Court of Speech, is a building from the 1670s that was enlarged in the late 19th century. It is constructed of squared rubblestone and features a hipped tile roof with overhanging coved eaves and scattered brick ridge stacks, along with one stone stack in the southwest corner. The building is arranged in a 'U' shape and has two storeys plus an attic.

The main facade includes five windows, mostly featuring 20th-century stone mullions and transoms, with hood moulds over some of the ground floor windows. There are also five hipped dormers. The main entrance is located to the left of the centre. The right return of the building has five windows, primarily from the 17th century, all with hood moulds. The central doorway, dating from the 19th century, has a plaque above it displaying an escutcheon with the arms of Charles II and the date 168. This entrance leads to the former Court Room of the Verderers' Court, which retains its original panelled timber ceiling, a dais at the south end, and a moulded stone fireplace.
