Description
The Old Custom House Inn is an 18th-century inn located on Bow Street in Langport. The building is constructed of brick in Flemish bond and has a colourwashed facade. It features a Welsh slate roof with a stepped coped gable on the east side and a plain gable on the west, along with brick chimney stacks. The inn has three storeys and three bays. The upper floors have sash windows in plain openings with gauged brick flat arches, with 12-pane windows on the first floor and 9-pane windows on the second. On the ground floor, there is a wide plain semi-circular through archway at the first bay, fitted with boarded doors. Bays two and three have a 19th-century shopfront with 20th-century small-pane windows and a recessed door to the right. The west gable is clad in slate. The interior has not been seen. The current name has no known significance, but the building was first recorded as The Angel in 1787 when a court leet was held there.
