Former White Lion Public House

The former White Lion Public House dates to the early 17th century, possibly 1641. It is a two-storey and attic building with a steep roof covered in old stone slates. The exterior is of dressed coursed stone. The central entrance has a four-centred arched head with a moulded surround. To the left of the centre is a three-storey gabled bay featuring five-light mullioned windows with dripmoulds above each storey, and decorative finials on the apex and kneelers. A large stone inset in the gable bears the initials E.H. and I.H. To the right of the entrance is a canted five-light bay at ground floor level. The first floor has a three-light mullioned window, and there is a large gabled dormer window with a gable matching that of the left-hand bay and a three-light window. The interior contains two early fireplaces, one featuring the same initials as those found on the gable stone. The building forms a group with the other listed buildings along the east side of North Street.
