White Horse Hotel

The White Horse Hotel is an inn dated 1733, designed by Nathaniel Ireson. It is constructed from local stone that is cut and squared, featuring painted ashlar dressings. The building has a plain clay tile roof behind a parapet and simple gables, with brick end chimney stacks. It stands three stories tall and has three bays, showcasing a free baroque Georgian style.

Key architectural features include a plinth, a cill course, and a cornice above the first floor level. The building has rusticated quoins that extend up to the cornice, with Egyptian-type pilasters above supporting a band course in place of a parapet. The windows are 12-pane sash windows, with the outer ground floor bays being paired and featuring rusticated mullions and jambs. These windows have triple keystones above them, set within an entablature and topped with segmental pediments. Below these windows are blocked 2-light cellar windows.

The entrance is centrally located between the bays, accessed by three steps and framed by a Gibbsian surround with a quintruple keystone. The centre of this surround is incised with "G.D 1733," indicating George Deane, the proprietor at that time. The first-floor windows in the outer bays are double and have simple surrounds with triple keystones, while the second-floor windows are 2-light small pane casements with similar surrounds. A double hanging sign with elaborate wrought ironwork is located at first floor level between the second and third bays.

The inn was first recorded in 1655 but was completely rebuilt in 1733. The rear of the building has been much extended and altered. The interior has not been seen.
