Description
The Old Royal Oak is a public house located between numbers 7 and 9 on the south-east side of Market Place in Knaresborough. It dates from the 16th to 17th century and underwent restoration in the 20th century. The building is rendered and has a clay tile roof. It features two storeys with attics and consists of three bays, with gabled central and right bays. The central entrance has a part-glazed door, and there is a large window to the left set in a 19th-century shop surround. To the right is an 18-pane window, along with all other windows, which date from after 1907. The central attic gable juts out slightly. Inside, there are extensive remains of a large timber-framed house, including panelling and roof structure. The original building also included number 5A. The North Yorkshire and Cleveland Vernacular Buildings Study Group Report No 955 from 1984 and a photograph of The Market Place by William Wheater in his 1907 work "Knaresboro and its Rulers" provide additional historical context.
