Jesmond House is the building on the left. The carriage arch next to it gives access to a car parking area at the rear, which is/was exited via Cricklade Street. For at least a century the building has been in use as a hotel/bar/restaurant in some shape or form. It was long known as Jesmond House Hotel, then as Jesmonds of Highworth. For the last year or so it has been known as The Highworth. The building is Grade II listed and the listing claims it dates from 1721. Elsewhere an earlier date of 1665 has been put forward. The postal address is 1 Westrop, but generally this bit of road is considered part of Lechlade Road. Image Image Image
