Description
The George Public House is a late 15th or early 16th century building, largely refronted with colourwashed rendering. It has an old tile roof. The building is two storeys high, with a central front door and modern leaded casement windows flanking it. There are two 3-light windows on the first floor. A gable is present to the left, over what was formerly a carriage arch, but is now blocked. Part of the building to the left was rebuilt in the early 1970s.
The interior of the right-hand section contains a complete medieval hall and parlour wing. A large moulded, arch-braced collar hall truss is visible on the first floor. The original floor of the parlour wing’s right-hand bay remains, and moulded beams and joists, dating to the late 16th or 17th century, are visible on the ground floor throughout the hall. A good 18th-century wood fireplace is located on the rear wall, along with an adjacent arch-headed corner cupboard and dentil cornice.
