The White Hart Hotel

The White Hart Hotel is a hotel located on East Street, built in the 18th century and modified or rebuilt in the early 19th century. It features ham stone ashlar construction with a Welsh slate roof that has a shallow pitch, set between stepped coped gables, and includes brick chimney stacks at both ends. The building is three storeys high with three bays. It has a plinth, band courses, and a moulded eaves course. The windows are sash style in plain openings, with 16 panes on the ground and first floors and 12 panes on the second floor. The central doorway has a wide pair of Regency style four-panelled doors topped by a rectangular fanlight. There is a hanging sign on a single wrought iron bracket to the right at first floor level. The matching south-west gable also has three bays, and there is a lower two-storey extension featuring a three-centred archway leading to boarded doors at the lower level. The interior of the hotel has not been significantly altered in the public rooms. The hotel was first mentioned by name in 1736.
