Description
Dockray Hall, formerly known as the Gloucester Arms, dates from around 1470 but is primarily from the late 16th century. This historic building was a traditional home of the Duke of Gloucester, who was the late Richard III. It is constructed of red sandstone with a painted stucco front and has two storeys. The structure features a wide yard entry and three bay windows. The main doorway is adorned with carved and painted coats of arms of de Whelpdale and Richard III, along with the date 1580. There are four 16th-century windows. The interior is notable for its late 16th-century panelling and plasterwork, making it a very good example of its period.
