The Olde White Hart Hotel
(Formerly Listed as:
SOUTHGATE STREET
(East side)
No.35
White Hart Public House)
GV II
House; formerly a public house, now a hotel, adjacent to the
site of the former Chapel of St Botolph. C15 core with C16
alterations; C19 front and 2-storey rear extension.
Timber-framed; part rendered; fronted in painted brick;
weatherboarded on the south gable end. Plaintiled roof with a
shallow pitch to the rear slope.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attics and cellar. 3 window range:
small-paned sliding sashes to the 1st storey and sashes with a
single vertical glazing-bar to the ground storey in shallow
reveals with segmental-arched heads. The doorcase has panelled
pilasters and reveals and a flat cornice hood on cut brackets.
An internal chimney-stack has 3 attached hexagonal shafts set
diagonally on a square base.
INTERIOR: C19 cellar below rear range in vaulted brick with
walling in panels of kidney flint with brick dressings.
Complex interior with indications of several stages of
development. A lower wallplate running along the whole front
and part of the rear walls has housings for missing tie-beams
and suggests a medieval range, although part of the plates
have been replaced.
At a later medieval stage the north end was altered into a
3-bay cross-wing and still retains that form internally. The
ground storey ceilings are high with heavy plain joists and
chamfered main beams, the middle beam supported by short solid
arched braces. Replaced joists in the rear bay and housings
for a 2-light diamond-mullioned window in the rear wall.
A doorway with a shallow arched head is now blocked by an
inserted chimney-stack with back-to-back hearths on ground and
1st storeys, all with surrounds which include re-used stone.
The end bay on the south is a timber-framed addition of the
C16. The former end wall has part of a wide continuous sill
for a long window in the gable end. Only the side purlins of
an apparently later roof are exposed in the attics.
