The White Hart Inn

The White Hart Inn is an inn that appears to be a late 18th century refront of a much older building. It is constructed of local lias stone that is cut and roughly squared, with painted ashlar dressings. The roof is clay pantiled, hipped at the east end, and features a stepped coped gable to the west, set behind a parapet. The building has two storeys and five bays, with a rendered plinth, plain end pilasters, and moulded coping to the plain parapet.

On the first floor, there are 16-pane sash windows in plain openings under timber lintels. The ground floor features a double plain sash window in a Regency-style shopfront surround in bay 1, a nine-panel door with Regency flanking timber pilasters and a plain timber hood on brackets carrying a timber model of a white hart in bay 2, a triple plain sash window under a timber lintel spanning bays 3 and 4, and a wide boarded door under a timber lintel in bay 5. There is a 20th-century hanging sign at first floor level.

The interior has not been seen, but the Victoria County History reports that there is an open timber roof of late medieval date on the upper floor of what was a gable cross wing. The inn was previously known as 'The Bear Inn'.
