extended. Stucco and cement render; tiled eaves courses to pantile roof,
Welsh slate roofs to rear wings. 2 storeys, 5 bays with wing to rear left,
shorter wing in rear angle and C20 flat-roofed additions to rear right and
right return (not of special interest). Corniced pilaster to far left.
Stone doorcase between bays 1 and 2 with panelled double-door in Tuscan-
columned aedicule having triglyphs, vermiculated frieze and pediment with
vermiculated tympanum. All ground-floor bays have renewed sashes with
glazing bars in stone architraves with projecting sills. 1st floor has
unequally-hung 9-pane sashes in matching surrounds. Boxed eaves to swept
roof. Rear: wing on right has external end stack. Historically important as
one of the principal coaching inns of the town. After the 1723 Fire of

the inn' for £500 (Unwin, p.61).
