17th and 18th century with alterations. This was a coaching inn, and until
comparatively recently the central archway, now the main entrance to the
lounge, was open and led through a cobbled yard with galleries round to the
yard at the back. The 17th century portion is 2 storeys and attic. 3 gabled
dormers with barge boards. Thin brick. Sashes, in flush frames, with glazing
bars and flat arches. Plaster cove cornice with bed mould. Plain tiles.
Stack with 6 octagonal detached flues, with base moulds and united at
capping. Modern door in original wood case with architrave frieze and cornice.
The 18th century parts flank the earlier, 1 window west and 2 windows east,
3 storeys red brick, the attic floor enclosed by screen wall on main cornice
above pilasters. This treatment continued, on return front facing Newmarket,
5 windows with central entrance. Rusticated quoins. Moulded brick cornice.
Slate roof. Sashes with flush frames, flat arches with stone keys.
Elliptical central arch over entrance with rustications and stone key.
Modern door. Altered interior retains some early features including hewn

Newmarket forms a most important central group including the buildings
around and in the "island'.
